I'm an actress.

I knew the artist's way answer.

I can't help you with that one.

Pricewaterhouse, so a woman was denied a promotion, I think in the late 80s, early 90s.

She was denied a promotion because she was too masculine, didn't dress feminine enough, and was too aggressive.

And they told her this.

She sued, it went all the way to the Supreme Court, and they said, this is a violation of Title VII because it's discriminating against her based on sex stereotypes.

there had been a precedent over the years, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, some of her best work, saying that sex stereotypes, basically meaning like if you're a person assigned female at birth, you're supposed to act this way and look this way.

If she were a man with the same, dressing the same way and acting the same way, she wouldn't have been fired.

So that is discrimination because of sex.

And so in the Bostock case, Amy Stevens, who was the trans woman in that case, she was fired because she was trans.

She wrote a letter saying, I'm transitioning, and they fired her, cut and dry.

The logic there is, well, if you are assigned male at birth, you need to come to work dressed as a male, presenting as a male, and that's a sex stereotype.

So that's actually discrimination because of sex.

Sports case that's gonna come down probably in a few weeks from the Supreme Court is probably gonna ban trans girls from sports.

Gender affirming care basically has been banned, at least in, they didn't make it sweeping.

The good thing about the Scrimmedia case is it wasn't sweeping across the country, it was just in that particular state, I think it was Tennessee.

But,

I say all of that to say these court decisions and so much of what they're doing to attack trans people, mainly trans women, negatively affects all women.

That's right.
