characteristic of philosophical belief”."


Philosophical belief... How about FACT? LOL

This sounds like an unfair verdict. I'm pretty sure it will get overturned on appeal.

Really ! If someone were to insist publicly that someone who emigrated to America and became a US citizen is "not really American" I bet you would view them as a bigot . Or at least ignorant .

See, I’m the exact opposite in this debate.

In my eyes Maya has no right to demand anybody use any bathroom. If person X wants to use bathroom Y... that’s up to them. You feel like a man, shyte in a man’s bathroom. And if the men’s bathroom is full, use the womans’.

If Maya wants to refer to me as Mrs. Shavixmir... that’s up to her. I couldn’t care less.

If she is a government employee, then she has to take into account other people’s beliefs and feelings. So privately she can call me a misses. In a work-related setting she has to call me what I want to be called.
That’s why you’re a civil servant.*

* unless it is demeaning; but this case has no bearing on that issue.
