A devout Muslim woman enters a U.S. airport, dressed in a burka. She's randomly selected for a pat-down & requests a female.

As long as a male TSA agent has announced he is a woman, he does the pat down. /2

An employer creates a lactation room for breastfeeding mothers, which only women may enter. Some enter alone and others enter accompanied by female coworkers.

Now, a bio male wants entry. All he needs is to claim female identity. Now, employer cannot exclude him. /3

A preschool has a policy that only female teachers can accompany little girls to the bathroom.

All a biologically male employee need do is announce he is also a woman, and the employer cannot bar him from accompanying little girls to the bathroom. /4

A police department has a policy that only female officers conduct cavity searches of female arrestees.

That policy is now illegal unless it also includes males with a female gender "identity." /5

The kind, decent and sensitive transgender adults that I know (and I know many) would never take advantage of this policy. But there are plenty of bad people out there who would -- mostly, non-transgender. All of them, biological males. /6

And in each case, there is only one kind of victim: women and girls.

A question for the U.S. Congress: What are America's women and girls worth to you? /7
