Define “discriminate”...

Who and how do they decide if something is discrimination... ?

This is a damned if you do and damned if you don't law. Call a he a she or call she a he ... how can you tell? (besides the obvious) Heaven forbid if you use "it" as a pronoun.

As for the 16 conservatives ... well, they ain't too conservative after all.

what does that even mean?

That is very vague.

So if a high school girl decides not to shower after PE because tranny boys are showering with the girls, will he be charged with a hate crime?

Not a small one but there are many reasons why I left Canuckistan. The country may be lefty and vehemently anti-American but at least they voted in a majority to kick out illegals when the decision came to the Supreme Court.

I wonder if they’ll ever pass some laws making it illegal to discriminate against normal people.

Your use of the word “normal,” which is itself utterly discriminatory against non-normal people, is hate-speech and shows that you are full of bitter hatred.

DHS has already taken note of your posted comment. If I were you, I’d be listening for the knock on the door tonight and from this time forward.

You are now a domestic terrorist.

It would have failed, but for the “conservatives”.
