Gender identity is defined as a personal conception of oneself as male, female, both, or neither. In 2014, President Obama signed an executive order barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity among federal contractors. The order covered employers who perform federal work and protected an estimated 20 percent of American workers. Opponents included religious groups, who argued that the order would prevent them from receiving federal money or contracts if they could not meet the new guidelines because of their beliefs. Proponents argue that the order was nece…

It is already covered, and should only be applicable to transgendered persons, not people who decide they don't like gender roles and decide to be non-binary (a choice)
@B46V7MRLibertarian4wks4W
I would advocate repealing all so-called "anti-discrimination" laws and adopt a robust and radical policy to strengthen people's right to freely associate and discriminate for whatever reasons they choose. We have a deficiency of shame in our society, and our tolerance has run amok, and we can't hope to repair our culture with such laws on the book.
Yes but there should be room for opinion and debate especially when it comes to children
Yes but only to a certain extent. As long as how the person identifies is whitin the same species and does not use neo pronouns
@B2XG4KGConservative2mos2MO
NO, because if a guy can say he's a women and walk into a women's bathroom and grope women then then i don't think that we should allow it
@9F5KMPV2yrs2Y
Trans people should be free from discrimination, recieve government support and have access to medical care and resources. A person doesn't choose to be trans so they should be protected from discrimination.
@8VCBZW34yrs4Y
This is already covered under Canada's charter of rights and freedoms
@8ZR8QDRConservative3yrs3Y
No, all discrimination is wrong, therefore laws should not be made for special interests or minorities.
@8ZHLXYW3yrs3Y
I think all people should be treated with respect and not discriminated against but I do think gender identity is linked with mental health
@8ZFGRY33yrs3Y
I don’t understand the context/question
@8ZBJDHQ3yrs3Y
they're making gender identity too big of an issue when we should be focussing on over stuff. gender identity is important to an extent but is over ruled in some circumstances.
@8Z4W5PT3yrs3Y
Depends on the impact, sports teams no, firing yes
@8Z3V84Y3yrs3Y
There are 2 genders if uou disagree there mental hospitals.
@8YTD7SD3yrs3Y
Gender identity is anoyying people say there dogs and it’s just dumb your either male or female pick one
@8YCQ7HQ3yrs3Y
Depends on the individual
@8YC2DFN3yrs3Y
No, they’re two genders formed by x&y or you are born with neither x or y parts that identify you as male female or no gender
yes so long as it does not violate the right to free speech
@8VH22SV4yrs4Y
Gender should not be an issue.
@8V93X6QConservative4yrs4Y
you are either born a boy or born a girl
@8V5C6H24yrs4Y
Anti discrimination laws shouldn't exist because they violate property rights
@8TV6Z5J4yrs4Y
Everybody should just be treated the same
@8QWR75D4yrs4Y
I don’t care what you wanna be just don’t jam it down peoples throat be what you wanna be without fear of repercussions
@Waterworks1234yrs4Y
No, but let people who do have gender identity to be respected.
@9C7GBKR2yrs2Y
Yes in the same way hate crimes already are policed. Mis gendering someone by mistake should not be a crime.
@9C656B32yrs2Y
No, because gender identity is not a public issue, but a personal issue. Freedom of speech is way more important then someone playing victim to society.
@999FLJJ2yrs2Y
idk i think its ok to be gay bi or lesbian but other stuff is weird.
More research needs to go into understanding gender identity. In general, nobody should be descriminated against standards that do not apply to the job. I do not think gender identity is a mental health issue.
@9C63S732yrs2Y
What the hell is a Gender Identity? I only know two sexes? Man XY Woman XX
@92YKHH63yrs3Y
Nobody should be discriminated for their internal feelings, male-bodied people from birth are males, female-bodied people from birth are females, and intersex people are regarded as the sex they are mostly male or female
@97RR33D2yrs2Y
i think it could be but it should only be allowed for she, he, they. there are other pronouns being made but i don’t c the point
