Remember that the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock explicitly rejected Pryor’s cramped (and offensive) theory of sex discrimination. Looks like he hasn’t learned his lesson.https://slate.com/human-interest/2017/03/11th-circuit-rules-title-vii-does-not-prohibit-anti-gay-discrimination.html …

Got to love conservatives who love to claim the rights of being individuals with self determination but also think that a third party can define a person’s gender at birth with no hope of appeal. Conservatism is morally and ideologicaly bankrupt Probably why they love trump.
