I read this EO. It is brief. It makes a lot of claims that I think most Christians (and any people of good will) would agree with. "Equal protection under the law" is not a controversial idea to Americans, nor even to most Westerners. It's closer to being obviously-true than controversial, I would think. For example, section 1 of the EO begins with this line, "Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love." I really think that this statement is uncontroversially true to all moderates, conservatives and liberals.
For the sake of transparency, I generally identify with the Left politically (abortion and the refusal to force the rich/corporations to pay more in taxes being the only real hangups I have with the Left).
"The elimination of male and female to something else ?"
I think it would be an
expansion beyond binary, not an elimination. Right? It's not an eradication of previously existing gender identities but an expansion beyond to be welcoming and inclusive of those (few) who find themselves outside of the well entrenched gender categories of male and female (e.g., trans, middlesex, etc).
However, even though I'm fairly left of center, I still can't get here: "Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports"
IF the administration means by this statement that boys can simply make a simple claim of female gender-identity and thereby compete against females in sports. That, I agree with CNA, is an affront to females. If it becomes a norm where male student athletes who merely "self identify" as female routinely dominate their biological female counterparts in sports, that would be quite
regressive, not progressive, as far as I can tell. What an awfully unjust thing to do to our female athletes. I can't imagine that we as a society would tolerate such unjust treatment of our female children. But, equal protection without fear? All day long.. It's a defense of universal human dignity, if nothing else.
