How about if they had a reasonable expectation that their actions would shine the light on the lesser situation but go ignored in the more drastic case? Does not the idea of actually being effective make more sense?

It's kind of hard to make the claim that we do while supporting two of the worst violators doesn't it?

I don't know. Does supporting those two invalidate any other actions the US takes?

Wrong. Transgender is a misnomer. There are people who
fake being the other gender. Some only cross-dress, some
get cosmetic surgery to look more like the opposite sex.
There is no way to become a woman if you are born male
and vice-versa. The genes tell every time.

If Paypal really believes in what they are saying and aren't just moralizing hypocrites they will stop doing business in the above countries.

They didn't stop doing business in NC, they decided not to expand operations (a physical presence of employees) in a polity with policies it felt did not treat their employees fairly. In how many of those countries do they have physical offices?

There never was a way to tell. It's not like employs are allowed to look in someone dress or pants. Or make them take a DNA test. I'm sure Transgender people have been using the bathroom of their choice for years. And people didn't noticed. Who care what genes say anyways.

Great. So tell me, which of the people in this picture would you object to in a woman's bathroom stall? And which secretly has an XY gene? I will prefix this by pointing out that none of them have undergone corrective surgery or hormone therapy, at least of the type that most transgender individuals undergo.



To me, the key point here is that what makes "male" and "female" relevant is context-dependent. When it comes to sexuality, it's usually body type - we're attracted to certain characteristics (and it's fair to say that many of the men who are into, say, Bailey Jay are very close to 0 on the Kinsey scale). When it comes to sports, it has to do with average physical ability. When it comes to driver's licenses, it matters for the purpose of identification and even then is fairly mediocre. So what matters when it comes to bathrooms? What, effectively, determines who should use what bathroom? What part of being a woman is particularly relevant to whether you should use the women's bathroom or the men's bathroom, and vice-versa? I don't think you're going to find it in a person's genes or jeans.

Except this is what your really said, isn't it?.....And the bolded is what you were really referring to......So, again....why don't you explain it to us....Instead of just retreating into snarky one liners...

I'm wondering why people here are acting so outraged at PayPal's behavior... exactly as I said.

If you need it explained to you yet again, let me know.

Absolutely and it has been pointed out more times than anyone can count; it IS very hypocritical.

Perfect, I'm on board. I'm boycotting that corporation too, for involving their business in politics. Big mistake.

No, writing a law that stops any municipality from enacting laws creating transgender protections are not an attempt to keep laws uniform. They are an attempt to invalidate local laws.
You don't understand how government works. In Ohio we have concealed carry. Local ordinances that would affect that right are not allowed because that could cause someone to break the law simply by crossing a street. These types of laws are done in all states all the time.

Businesses should stick with bettering their products and prices. They should be secular minded, shouldn't they?

...For crossing that line, they should expect this. Just like Chik fil A in the other direction.

Are you suggesting anyone who doesn't take a stand to stop all injustice everywhere in the world at once is being hypocritical?

And the only alternative is... what? Do nothing?

Tell that to Hobby Lobby.

If a corporation can have a religion, they can also have morals... about time those two things went together, IMO.

Um - I hate to tell you this but X and Y are chromosomes, not genes.

And beyond the nondisjunction issues already listed, there can be issues of chimerism where some body parts are XX and others are XY. Not to mention androgen insensitivity syndromes (AIS) where a person with XY develops as a female.

Jamie Lee Curtis is supposedly XY with AIS.
There is also some who think Nichole Kidman is also XY with AIS. If so, that makes Tom Cruise gay as he married him.
