Why should your religious beliefs give you the right to know or care about your employees' genitals or what they do with them?https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1272921975682457607 …

Good question! My attempt to answer: in the culture of conservative Christians, a person's sex (as in biological sex, not intercourse) is construed as socially-relevant public information. Modern progressive culture disagrees. 1/3
What determines biological sex though? Chromosomes have been understood for less than a century, so using them as a baseline for conservative Christians doesn't really make sense (esp if the argument is that they don't change with culture).

And then it seems like the go to answer would be genitals. So are trans folks who have had bottom surgery fine in that case? And it comes back to my original point that employers do not otherwise get to know about folks genitals

If you're claiming that there's a religious exemption to not employing someone for being gay, isn't that implying that sex as in intercourse is considered socially relevant public information as well?

This gets into some complicated philosophy-of-language stuff, but chromosomes are at the root of the causal graph with correlated statistical differences at the leaves so that you get a robust clustering even if the distributions for most variables overlaphttps://www.lesswrong.com/posts/cu7YY7WdgJBs3DpmJ/the-univariate-fallacy …
