In law, we have different levels of scrutiny that judges apply to analyze matters like constitutional rights. Simply put, laws of greater magnitude must make more sense. Those which are the most restrictive or impactful must pass the highest standard, “strict scrutiny”. At the very bottom of the scale is “rational basis”. The legal industry is very much rooted in plain language and that term “rational basis” means exactly what it plainly says. To pass this bottom rung you must merely present ANY rational basis for the law. It can't be that aliens have come, but it can be one that that makes logical sense even if we all kind of know there are other more controlling reasons at play. I bring all of this up in the context of Daily Wire and Twitter/Elon today. Really more about the gender issue and transactivism itself…
The reason LGBTQers apparently need much greater protection than everyone else is because hurt feelings for them lead to suicide in ways they don't for anyone else. In a personal relationship, threatening suicide is considered a form of emotional abuse. Yet, on a societal level, entire populations of people threatening suicide if they aren't treated reverently is accepted and celebrated.
That's literally what they believe in many cases. In other cases, the lack of overall social acceptance might prevent people from joining their ranks and further mainstreaming them.

Oh boy do I want to talk to you about the rational basis test. I have deep and dark feelings about it.
