Added these 50 to my looooong list of banned companies. Most were already been banned.

• Companies spanning tech, financial services and consumer products are standing up for legal protections for transgender people.
• The companies represent over $2.4 trillion in annual revenue and have almost 4.8 million employees.
• The signed statement comes after a New York Times report that the Trump administration is considering limiting the definition of gender to birth anatomy....

Oh, man, I just got the Trump gender change memo. I wonder where I left the pinking shears...
Shut up and make money, pervert CEOs.
Hit them with all cannons, all the time. Overwhelm them.
You will get 99% of what you do, this way. It’s obviously working for Trump.
Why are you “pro-legal gender confusion?”
Once again, why isn’t the left against big corporations anymore?
These clowns must have never watched “School House Rocks”
Letters aren’t how laws are made or changed.
Oh, I am not pro-legal gender whatever you said. I just don’t give a rats ass.
Obama’s fault. He slipped this into society without Congress getting involved, or without any discussion. Trump is just restoring normalcy.
I have the same problem with “Marriage equality”
So many people are hung up on what the state thinks about marriage. The state shouldn’t have a say in the matter - those seeking state approvals have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they want the tax rebates.
It’s not about love (Buy a damned ring) it’s not about kids (That choice can’t produce a child) and it’s not about getting married in a church (I can’t get married in a mosque because we believe very different things. I got over that pretty quickly).
It’s about money. Today’s sex argument isn’t about anything but extra privileges above and beyond what others have. It’s status.
We lose 1.4 millions freaks. Oh wait, they’re not on our side anyway but we gain the Amish and Mennonite because they’re starting to wake up and vote thanks to Trump proclaiming obvious things and being Pro-Christian and a Patriot

So I wasn’t that far off. That comes out to less than half of one percent. Meh. Snooze. Most of them are likely in San Fran anyway
We’re talking about two different groups, though.
You’re talking about the actual freaks who don’t know if they’re male, female, or some imaginary sex in-between.
I’m talking about the rank-and-file idiot leftist who buys into the idea that sex is a matter of choice, not biology.
Trump didn’t change gender definitions ... the left did that. He just wants to restore them to the scientifically proven male and female.
Added these 50 to my looooong list of banned companies. Most were already been banned.
His response should have been a Huge Anti Trust Lawsuit against the Whole Bunch.
Indeed, sex and gender are not interchangable terms. Sex is biological and gender just a social-psychological construct. The confusion is deliberate. Conflating the terms makes rational debate impossible. Take back control of the language.
At least Ebay and Walmart are not on the list. Indeed to give more business to them over Amazon as competitive.

Just got off Chat (start at https://smile.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us/ref=hp_gt_comp_cu?ie=UTF8&nodeId=508510), and my protest is below (and thank God we can buy anything at all):
Initial Question: Sorry to see that Amazon is among 50+ other companies who signed letter against Trump administration’s proposed gender definition change. Intend to give less business to Amazon and more to Ebay, Walmart and others who which did not sign to this profession of confusion/contortion.
01:59 AM PDT Pankaj(Amazon): Hello, my name is Pankaj. I’m here to help you today.
Hey daniel.
I’ll definitely look into this.
01:59 AM PDT daniel hamilton: Good, but Amazon is the one that needs help.
02:00 AM PDT daniel hamilton: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/01/companies-sign-letter-against-trumps-proposed-gender-definition-change.html
02:00 AM PDT Pankaj: daniel, I would lime to inform you that we are already working on this issue.
02:00 AM PDT daniel hamilton: Which means?
02:01 AM PDT Pankaj: daniel, allow me a minute please.
02:03 AM PDT daniel hamilton: Amazon opposes defining gender based on birth anatomy, and instead sanctions defining oneself according to how they feel. At least at the moment.
02:04 AM PDT Pankaj: daniel, first of all i would like to thank you to give some time for this issue.
I want to inform you that our legal team is already looking into this matter.
02:05 AM PDT Pankaj: Also, I am escalating this issue to the authorized department on priority basis.
Please be rest assured that this will be sorted out soon.
02:06 AM PDT Pankaj: I have escalated this issue again on priority basis.
02:06 AM PDT daniel hamilton: We as a household have been a long term customer of Amazon, and had I seen this news yesterday I would not have ordered the printer we just bought form you.
02:07 AM PDT Pankaj: daniel, please don’t worry. Have faith on Amazon.
We will never do anything which would make our customer feel low.\
Amazon never discriminates on gender basis.
02:08 AM PDT Pankaj: Your trust and faith is our priority always.
02:08 AM PDT daniel hamilton: Well, Amazon did! And yet this issue is about how one feels versus reality. “Sorting” out itself means making a distinction based upon an ability to make such.
02:09 AM PDT Pankaj: No daniel.
We have not finalized yet.
We are still thinking on this issue.
02:10 AM PDT Pankaj: Our legal team is working on it.
The petition which we have signed, can still be cancelled.
Trust us, we also respect the Trans rights.
02:11 AM PDT Pankaj: Our legal team is working on it.
02:11 AM PDT daniel hamilton: discrimination based on gender presumes gender has a basis of definition, and is contrary to supporting defining ones gender based on feelings, not biology.
02:11 AM PDT Pankaj: And also, I have escalated this issue by mentioning that our customers are also worried because of this.
02:12 AM PDT Pankaj: I totally agree with you daniel.
You are absolutely right.
Please be rest assured that we will come with a final decision which will never let you feel down.
02:14 AM PDT daniel hamilton: “Rights” does not mean I can demand to be recognized as a women because I feel like one when i am biologically not. Where does this end? Feeling like a bear?
02:14 AM PDT Pankaj: Absolutely daniel. I totally agree with you.
02:15 AM PDT Pankaj: Please be rest assured that we will come with a happy news on this issue by announcing our final decision.
Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
02:15 AM PDT daniel hamilton: Talk about rights against discrimination, if you agree with me then your job may be in danger.
02:15 AM PDT Pankaj: No daniel, my job is not in danger.
02:16 AM PDT Pankaj: Please do not worry.
We all have rights to keep our views.
02:17 AM PDT daniel hamilton: I am not so sure. This is an American company owned by a liberal, and which class persecutes those who do not subscribe to their social engineering.
02:18 AM PDT Pankaj: daniel, please do not worry. We will not let you feel down.
This will be sorted out soon.
02:18 AM PDT daniel hamilton: Anyway, thank you for your time, and attempts to help. Thanks. Grace and peace thru Jesus the Lord.
02:19 AM PDT Pankaj: You’re welcome.
Grace and peace thru Jesus the Lord.
It was pleasure assisting you. Have a lovely day.
Thank you for contacting Amazon. Please click on the “End Chat” to close this window.
02:19 AM PDT daniel hamilton: Trust in Jesus and do what He pleases:)
02:19 AM PDT Pankaj: Sure.
Thank you.

Which is totally irrelevant.
China and Indua represent 3 Billion humans and $15 Trillion in GDP, plus over 5000 years of history (as against an insignificant 20 years of history for Facebook) and both countries recognize only two sexes, as does almost all countries in Asia, Africa and South America.
You will care the day that your wife, daughter granddaughter, or other female that you care about gets raped or worse because some male who “identifies as a woman that day” is in the women’s room!!!
