On the other hand, the entire idea of transgenderism is based on sex. Without sex, transgenderism doesn't exist. So by discriminating on the basis of if a person is transgender, you are by extension discriminating based on their sex.
- treis 6y agoThe counter to this would be that these bans aren't discriminatory on the basis of sex because the same rule applies to both sexes. It all depends on how you want to look at it. It can either be: (1) People can't have same sex relations (2) Women can have relations with men but men can't have relations with men. Practically they are the same, but (2) discriminates on the basis of sex while (1) does not.
