A gender identity is defined by desires (not chosen) and the types of behaviors manifest in response to those desires (chosen). You cannot tell if someone has a certain gender orientation unless they tell you or telegraph it by doing something like a public display of affection. Race and ethnicity (to a lesser extent) are visibly objective, cannot be hidden, or changed. I could pretend to be gay but I could never pretend to be black, for example. I am NOT saying that gay people should have to hide or deny expressing who they are, only that there is a difference, maybe not of kind but most certainly of degree. Perhaps gender identity / sexual orientation should be a protected class but the case is not nearly as compelling as race or ethnicity.Then your an idiot
Jaysus you'd think if you're calling someone an idiot you'd be extra careful to spell simple words correctly.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
