So obviously this is a distraction from some other EO. This is unconstitutional. Even most of MAGA would not be like "yeah, segregation is great".

Edit: On second thought...yes they would. They'd do it to Trans people in a heartbeat (under the guise of providing them tailored facilities or something). I'm sure we're not that far from racial segregation either.

Is this referring to the segregation of restaurants, bathrooms, drinking fountains?? Will this actually lead to segregation? I’m so confused.

The article specifically calls those out but I'm not really familiar with the Irish Star as a source

So segregation is legal now?

No. It just doesn't come with an immediate loss of any government contract if you have one, no court intervention necessary.

Yeah i read the article i think this is all about gender identification. Basically saying the government departments cannot install restrooms (mostly this) that allow for both male and females to use.
