This one can be summed up briefly. Read this lawsuit summary. See how this woman is treated? This is legal in most places, and this is still legal in MA despite them creating a discrimination bill for us. Why? Because the bill stripped out public accommodations protections. That's not just public bathrooms. It's a legal loophole to let all kinds of people keep punishing trans people for not conforming to the expectations of others.
The MA bill purports to protect us, when in fact it legalizes certain forms of discrimination. This is just like that despicable anti-bullying bill that legitimizes religious-based violence against ANY minority. It's useless to the victims, and is only a feel-good gesture to the politicians who live in their bubbles. So while the elected politicians pat themselves on the back for a victory, they just keep spitting in the faces of the people they claim to be helping. Thanks for nothing, MA. If I was in striking distance, I'd spit back, jerks.
