Trump Judge Rules It’s OK to Discriminate Against LGBTQ People. Why has the GOP come to oppose transgenders so vigorously?

There is no discrimination.

Other people born with a penis and testicles are not allowed to compete against women, either.
Actually. since only certain people born with a penis are allowed to participate in womens sports, it is a fact that every other male forbidden to do so is being discriminated against.
 
Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk is a racist man who needs to be removed from the bench and disbarred. His judgments are based on his racist ideals and biases.

His ruling will be defeated upon appeal. The man needs to be faced with the loss of his license and being persona non grata in all courthouses unless he is the defendant in a case.

Republicans hate anything and everything that is not just like they are.
 
What rights are being violated here? Be specific.

Equal rights. The judge has said they have no protection against discriminatory treatment.
 
They have equal rights. Not sure what you re saying.
The judge just ruled otherwise if you bothered to read the decision?

a male employee must use male facilities like other males is not discrimination. An example of discrimination would be to allow one male to use female facilities and enter womens sports and deny that to another male.
 
There is legal and illegal discrimination.
WTF! There is no such thing as legal discrimination. Discrimination by its very nature is illegal because you are willfully treating one person different or lesser than another because of their race, ancestry, creed, color, gender/sex, age, or disability.
 
How are they being discriminated against?

The judge says they can be discriminated against. The court is declaring that they are not equal.
 
Yet in 2016, Trump claimed there were no problems with transgenders using the bathroom of their choice.

What happened?
I know you think you have a gotcha, but countless politicians on both sides have changed their positions since, like, forever. Sometimes they sincerely change their minds; sometimes they're just chasing votes, like when Joe Biden ran as a Moderate and became a Far Leftie as soon as he attained power.
 
If ya got a dong go mens.
if ya got a slit go ladies. What's wrong with their privacy?

What I see as wrong is a 6'5" male trans playing a lil ladies sport like Tennis, golf, Disc golf etc.
Genetically a Male has more overall upper body strength than the ladies of his area of size.
He is just designed faster. Bolt proved what a tall man can do, world's fastest still.

Jim Crow comes to mind. Are you a fan of Jim Crow?
Not at all. Words have meaning. Everyone discriminates, as in "discriminating taste." Some people prefer chocolate, others vanilla for example. For hiring practices, many jobs discriminate against not having a college degree, and even require specific fields of study.

To discriminate is not automatically equal to bigotry, though the brainwashed leftists seem to think so. We have many words at our disposal to distinguish specific uses.

It is amazing how many times the pundits on the left use incorrect verbiage. It isn't because they are stupid, but because they know their audience is stupid.

To discriminate against a person identifying as a woman, but has a penis, and baring them from entry into a private space for women is proper discrimination.
 

Well, we may not look at all things equally, but the law should look at people equally.

In light of our Jim Crow legacy, I'm not eager to get back on the discrimination train.

as Trump himself once pointed out, there didn't seem to be any problems with it.

Yes, it should. If you have a penis, you are not allowed on areas designated for women only. If you have a vagina, you are not allowed in areas designated for men only.

That is a proper way to discriminate. Equal rights and not bigoted.

It appears you want to argue against a dead strawman. You brought it up. Not me.

It is a states rights issue.
