What about someone that has androgen insensitivity syndrome that presents in every physical way as female but has an XY chromosome?
Should the law consider them as men or women?

Don't know anything about him, his qualifications, the demographics ... don't know if people voted for him because he's qualified or simply because he's black. I have no 'thoughts' on this matter. Don't know enough about it to make a statement.

As of 2021, Whites made up 77% of the work force. They only make up 60% of the population.
Females make up 46% of the work force while making up 50% of the total population.
White guys are still being disproportionately hired compared to other demographics. Do you believe that white guys are just that much better than everyone else?

So if someone with androgen insensitivity syndrome, someone that only has female sex characteristics and that what they've had their whole life, is convicted of a crime you believe they should be sent to a men's correctional facility?

Oh please! For every man in a women's bathroom there are thousands of otherwise disenfranchised men and women who have benefited from diversity, inclusion and equity. People like Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powel, Clarence Thomas and Tulsi Gabbard all benefited from so called DEI.

Makes sense.
Hard to compare apples to oranges.
Health insurance for women is much more expensive, as an example.

Name even one other jurist you believe is more qualified than her that isn't on SCOTUS and explain what makes them more qualified.
Pervs who prey on women and children are thrilled that they can now gain access to their victims so easily.

If you don't, and you can't explain why you think their more qualified, then it seems like your just repeating political talking points and don't actually know anything about what you're talking about.

DEI also creates a cloud over the heads of minorities and Women. Did they get picked/hired because they were the best of xx candidates or did, they get hired because of a non-skill-based requirement?
Can't we apply the same in reverse. Decades of research show that less qualified white men are more likely to be hired than more qualified minorities.
How are we to know the white guy that's getting hired is actually the best candidate?
Why is there only a cloud over the heads' of minorities when, historically, it's the white guy that's getting hired above his ability?
That is Annee's argument, but then she grew up in the 50s. I'll give you the same answer... I agree with you if we went back a good number of decades, even more so for women.
I would say past 2000 it has all been moot now as people hire to get the best they can. If they don't then they are only hurting their own company. The only discriminations today that are sneaky are age and health. Companies don't want the burden of unhealthy people.

Don’t use my post and ignore this part.
“TODAY -- just in reference to handicap parking spaces. People are rude, uncaring, and abusive.”
Attitudes have not changed in 70 years just because of a law/act.
