No, I was specifically referring to the penises.
There's a very significant difference in public perception between trans women who have undergone gender reassignment surgery and non-passing AGPs who self-ID into women-only spaces.
You may not make that distinction, but voters do.

I'm making the point that policies that enjoy popular support or acquiescence (legal recognition, employment protections, insurance coverage, etc.) can be jeopardized by zealous pursuit of policies that engender popular resistance.
Public policy comes from counting votes and declaring winners.

Well, that is a problem with DEI, isn't it?
Is Harris VP because Rep. Jim Clyburn told Biden that a condition of his endorsement (which saved Biden's presidential bid) was that he had to pick a Black female running mate?
