The entire notion of 'gender identity' is associated w/ mental illness which is where this whole discussion belongs. -

The Equality Act is all about government expansion under the guise of equality. It will be illegal to oppose the government's imposed religion of "transgenderism". Gender identity cannot be measured, identified or seen; it depends explicitly on belief.REPORT COMMENTS

Removing the persistent and concrete definition of sex from legal protections serves only to remove those extant legal protections when a person's sex becomes a moot point in favor of their "identity." Sexual assault does not care about identity. Homosexual rights don't care about identity. The concept of identity reinforces the same gender roles that were at the core of eugenics. Reliance upon and compulsion for a person to choose their identity is insidious: it makes sex-based offences impossible to address and demands that each person be complicit in their gender role, just the same as saying that a good woman is a happy housewife and has no ambitions to a man's status or responsibilities like a career. The extension of this down to children is nothing short of abhorrent. Consider what things we believed as youths that we now find patently ridiculous, and consider how impressionable and headstrong children and teenagers can be. I certainly was, and one only has to look at internet culture to see that this is a universal trait. We don't allow children in the military or to drink alcohol -- why? They cannot yet make decisions on the scale of potential life-or-death circumstances (i.e. in combat or regarding amount consumed and actions taken when under the influence), and we do not want to risk our youths' health and futures. For these same reasons, this bill should be rejected no matter its progressive sounding title. SRS is sterilization. It damages the body for years or decades to come, and is fundamentally dangerous to their health. Anorexia is not treated with liposuction. No child or teen is comfortable with their body or even their personality yet, and the answer to this period of growth should not be medical intervention but rather community. Involvement in group activities offline, enfranchisement in society, and tolerance for the difficulties and vagaries of growing up in the internet age compounded on the changes they experience throughout teenage years in both body and mind.REPORT COMMENTS

Not only will this affect children, but it will affect women too. Men who identify as women will be allowed a free pass into women only space (like rape relief shelters, domestic abuse shelters ((where many of the victims are female with male abusers)), sports, etc). It's already happened in the UK where men who identify as women have gotten women arrested for misgendering them or deadnaming them. Rape will rise, domestic abuse will rise, assault will rise - this is not a female forward bill. It will put women and lesbians in very real danger.REPORT COMMENTS

This bill will affect children at their most critical developmental stage when they have to learn parameters. Our job as parents is to get them through life understanding the value of temperance and self respect. Additionally, no consideration is given for anyone suffering psychological issues which will not go away by feeding into their psychosis.REPORT COMMENTS

I ask that all aspects of how this bill will affect children, especially girls, women, and society as a whole be taken into serious debate. Passing legislation that will make self identifying one’s “gender” a protected class under anti discrimination laws will pose immeasurable ambiguity to how we as a society function. Also of dire concern is the horrific unethical medical harm being done to children, teens and young adults. Unless you have a loved one that has been hijacked by this trans ideology, the power, and damage being done by this movement is incomprehensible....how is this happening in America?REPORT COMMENTS

As a psychologist in private practice for 25 years, I find it mind-boggling how politicians and even therapists have allowed progressive lies from SIECUS, Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign to cloud their judgment. A pediatrician friend predicts massive medical malpractice lawsuits when 11 year olds grow up and realize they had never had the maturity, wisdom or life experience to give "informed consent" to the ultimate mutilation of their bodies.REPORT COMMENTS

The protection of women and girls is more important than pandering to a small group of people suffering from the mental illness of Gender Identity Disorder. Those suffering GID deserve compassionate, and appropriate, mental healthcare services. It is not appropriate however to feed their delusion that they can change sex by "indentifying" as a member of the opposite sex. Places where this has been allowed, women and girls have suffered harassment, abused, and other harms. Remove "gender identity"!REPORT COMMENTS

Children are not experiments. Everyone should be alarmed by the 4000% increase in girls with gender dysphoria. This is outrageous. Girls and women are taped and sold into slavery. In the USA we still don't have equal pay for equal work of men. Parents get to explore support and treatment. They must protect their children. Puberty blockers and sterilization are not the first line of defense. Children's brains are not fully developed until the mid 20s.REPORT COMMENTS

I’m aghast that there are so very few questioning this epidemic of young girls indetifying as trans boys. I’m liberal, but this is blurring the lines of what is and isn’t appropriate medically and with mental health practitioners. Children and teens shouldn’t be allowed to make such a life altering decision without parental input, well thought out therapeutic support, and more scientific study into the issue. Please help us parents who are struggling to help our children with little to no support!REPORT COMMENTS

Biological sex does NOT equal gender identity and it should NOT be written into law that these are the same. They are not. Biological females must retain our Title IX protections in the law. Trans-identified males are not female and should not be treated as females in the law. This is unfair and sometimes even dangerous to women and girls in Women's shelters, dressing rooms, and in sports competitions, among other situations.REPORT COMMENTS

As a college student, I feel strongly about the protection of women under title IX. If the equality act is passed, Congress is telling me and my female friends that our concerns don't matter and biological sex is irrelevant. Ignoring biological sex won't end misogyny, it will perpetuate it.REPORT COMMENTS
