The Other McCain: ‘Equality’ for 0.5%
There is no fraction of the population so tiny that it cannot be organized into a victimhood constituency that provides liberals an opportunity to congratulate themselves on their moral superiority

...So, I did the math: 6.5 million people in Massachusetts according to the Census Bureau, 33,000 “transgender residents” according to Downing and, unless I misplaced the decimal point, these liberals are applauding themselves for providing “equal protection” to about one-half of one percent of the state’s people. What about the other 99.5 percent?

...Ask yourself: What “rights” have actually been secured by this legislation that is the occasion for another tiresome outburst of liberal self-congratulation? Mainly, the right to sue people for “discrimination,” creating more work for ambulance-chasers who can now collect fees for filing nuisance lawsuits against companies accused of failing to meet their quota of transgendered employees.
How is this supposed to help?
