If he runs the business then he makes the decisions, the business isn't a separate sentient being who can make decisions.
I feel like you are intentionally being dense.
The man himself isn't required to have a business. If he does have one there are laws that say a business cannot discriminate. It's not remotely the same as trying to force women to have sex with men they don't want to sleep with.
I don't believe you think it's the same either.
I'm not saying the two situations are entirely equal. But I don't see it as totally dissimilar.
A man owns a business, he chooses who he wants to work for him. If he makes a good choice he lives happily ever after. If he makes a bad choice he loses business, becomes bankrupt.
A woman owns her body. She decides who she breeds with. If she chooses well she has good looking healthy babies and lives happily ever after. A woman makes bad choices she no longer wants to be with the father of the child, she has ugly stupid babies.
You said you can't imagine what it would be like to be a trans person in a place where you're discriminated against and the law wouldn't protect you.
My point is that there are discriminatory acts going on that are just as bad that go on in nature all the time and the law can't interfere with the situation and actually goes against the person being discriminated against.
I don't know why your telling me a man isn't required to own a business.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
