This is absolutely the crux of the matter - we aren’t joining the trans religion, so we don’t want men in the women’s locker room. It would be like the Mormons attempting to ban coffee or the JWs attempting to ban blood transfusions for everyone. Don’t try to force the wider world to participate in your clearly irrational (and as in the JW blood transfusion example, harmful) beliefs.

Thanks for reporting on that, and for the bravery of those who held the event. Shouting over speakers and trying to block others from seeing them is not the strategy of people who believe they have a persuasive argument against what you all were there to say. If anyone is interested in contributing to the public comments regarding the proposed changes to Title IX before the September 12 deadline, here is a link to the form: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/07/12/2022-13734/nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-sex-in-education-programs-or-activities-receiving-federal

A proposed change in the language would allow anyone claiming female gender identity the same rights as biological females. In other words, they would be able to enter all spaces reserved for females and compete against females in sports.
