A trans falls into the protected class of Sex (there is not one for gender) however, they are not being discriminated against because of their sex; as they are actually fighting to go against their sex in regards to policy. So in reality they are the only ones discriminating against themselves because of sex.
For instance you brought up sex in reference to employment. There was a time when men went it was suggested that men were being discriminated against being flight attendants.
The point is that congress should do there job and expand it to either include or exclude the envogue issues. For instance if they extended it to include sexual orientation, you could not be discriminated because of it; even though everybody has one.
So you are saying the situation must fall into one of the categories, not the person? That was unclear in your original statement on this.
As for the trans issue, that is your opinion on it. Opinions are split, and we will see how it shakes out in the end.
