Subject: Re: Happy Pride Month!
I gave three examples in my original reply.

1. Competing with bio female athletes
2. Same housing as female prisoners
3. Insisting on others memorizing their chosen pronouns that are not obvious.


But none of those involve asking for anything extra. Just being asked to be treated equally.

Trans girls want to compete in girls' sports equal to all the other girls.
Trans women prisoners want to be housed in female prisons just like all the other women.
Trans people want you to call them by the correct pronouns just like you do everyone else.

Those are requests for equality, not special accommodations.

To albaby, the point about midgets was that they are not insisting on reading books to kids.

But they could. They have the right to volunteer at the library - and if they did, no one would object. At all.

That's the equality part. If you look at your local community calendar, you'll see countless groups and organizations organizing activities and volunteering and just generally being part of the community. Those activities are probably different than reading to kids - they might be organizing a fun run or arranging a beach clean up or doing a cultural class at the local community center. But every group is allowed to, even encouraged, to take part in making their community better. There's absolutely no reason to exclude drag queens from doing the same.
