You know, for all the worry about people "identifying as trans in order to do X" it seems to happen very infrequently.

  I'm not taking issue with it (ever, really, live your best life), especially when used to obviate quotas. I take issue with "good" discrimination efforts, never how someone identifies or their biological attributes.

    Gotcha, I'm sorry I misinterpreted your position! I mentioned this elsewhere in the thread, but I am (genuinely!) curious as to how we can actively prevent "bad" discrimination without using "good" discrimination. Board seats are a zero-sum game, far more men have them than women, so how can we give more to women without taking some from men?

      > so how can we give more to women without taking some from men? We don't, just like we don't have quotas for roles and say, "This role is being held open for a woman, person of color, or other non-white, non-male person". If it's an all male board, it's an all male board. If it's an all female board, same. You don't legislate discrimination because you feel like it's helpful. Equal opportunity, not equal outcome. No mandated quotas. If evidence is uncovered that discrimination is occurring (against any protected class), you pursue legal action against the corporation and its officers.
