   There seem to be a number of pundits insisting that anything short of putting trans people in camps is not "an attack on trans people's rights."

   Please understand how ridiculous that sort of characterization is.

     Because here's the thing:

     I do not care if someone believes "trans women are women" or not. I really, truly don't. People can believe whatever they want to believe, and others can believe whatever they want to believe about that person.

     Responding "Biological sex is real!" is not actually an argument. I'm not at all interested in having a dumb, meaningless debate about that.

     Yes, efforts to make it impossible for trans people to get ID cards that list their updated name and gender marker are attacks on trans rights.

     Yes, efforts to force people to use restrooms that correspond to their original birth certificates are attacks on trans rights.

     Yes, efforts to criminalize or restrict transition-related health care and insurance coverage are attacks on trans rights.
