>>You're talking about the freedom of a wheelchair-bound person to climb any set of stairs they like, whereas I'm talking about the existence of ramps.

But the analogy fails given the example I provided. As I demonstrated, even in the 19th century, when transportation options were far more limited, the typical worker in a company town possessed effective mobility, which gave them the power to reject the work being offered in the company town in favor of a better offer in a different locale.

>>So where is the bargaining power of Amazon's workers right now?

How does the situation of Amazon's workers contradict what I said about bargaining power for workers rising when companies see their productivity and revenue rise?

The fact that they are paid more than minimum wage proves they have bargaining power. Amazon is forced, by virtue of the other opportunities offered to these workers by other employers, to pay more than minimum wage.

If the US economy saw further productivity growth, and with it revenue growth for its companies, then wages would rise further as well.

>>At the bottom, real wages have fallen. [1] As a result, purchasing power for 90% of USA population has stayed the same since the late 1970s, while for the top 10% it has significantly increased. [2]

I believe you've misread his dissent.

Had he agreed with the outcome but not the opinion, he'd write a concurrence (like Alito did).

Multiple times in Thomas's dissent he says the couch was right to have punished from prior standards. His dissent can be boiled down to "The court is not considering prior precedence and should have sided with the couch".

> While the majority entirely ignores the relevant history,I would begin the assessment of the scope of free-speech rights incorporated against the States by looking to “what‘ordinary citizens’ at the time of [the Fourteenth Amend-ment’s] ratification would have understood” the right to en-compass. McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U. S. 742, 813 (2010) (THOMAS, J., concurring in part and concurring in judg-ment). Cases and treatises from that era reveal that public schools retained substantial authority to discipline stu-dents. As I have previously explained, that authority was near plenary while students were at school. See Morse v. Frederick, 551 U. S. 393, 419 (2007) (concurring opinion).Authority also extended to when students were traveling toor from school. See, e.g., Lander v. Seaver, 32 Vt. 114, 120 (1859). And, although schools had less authority after a student returned home, it was well settled that they still could discipline students for off-campus speech or conduct that had a proximate tendency to harm the school environ-ment.
>I gave several examples of people wanting to strip long-standing rights

I don't think you did. You threw out terms like "sports bans" but I don't think trans individuals being able to compete based on gender identity is a "long-standing right". If you're referring to other stuff you'll have to be more specific.

>Gender dysphoria is a pretty painful mental illness that often leads to suicide, so forbidding a transgender girl from getting treatment and forcing her to go to the boys' room does seem both dehumanizing and dangerous to her life.

Many policy issues will have some sort of effects on overall mortality. But I think it's pretty important in functional democracies that you should be able to have policy disagreements where these sorts of stakes are present without believing that the people taking the opposite stance are sadists or murderers instead of individuals who come to these debates with somewhat-different priors of empirical reality and somewhat-different but not fundamentally-abhorrent values. Trans issues seem to lack this normal presumption, however.

| gender reassignment surgery

SRS/GRS is not recommended for pubescent children by anyone. At that age only hormone blockers are on the table, definitely not permanent surgery.

EDIT

Posting a reference backing up my claim since I'm getting downvoted:

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/mar/05/viral-imag...

| Professional organizations such as the Endocrine Society recommend against puberty blockers for children who have not reached puberty, and recommend that patients be at least 16 years old before beginning hormone treatments for feminization or masculinization of the body. The last step in transitioning to another gender, gender reassignment surgery, is only available to those 18 and older in the United States.

I don’t blame any website for protecting themselves against the moronic laws of other nations. It’s not ok for a government to presume it’s right to fine companies in another sovereign nation just because the company servers maintain data about who used their services when it was the voluntary action of the individuals using the services that caused the collection of data. That’s like going into someone’s shop and then trying to sue them because their security cameras filmed you.

"Does School Spending Matter? The New Literature on an Old Question" (https://works.bepress.com/c_kirabo_jackson/38/)

"All but one of the several multi-state studies find a strong link between spending and outcomes –indicating that money matters on average. Importantly, this is true across studies that use different data-sets, examine different time periods, rely on different sources of variation, and employ different statistical techniques. While one can poke holes in each individual study, the robustness of the patterns across a variety of settings is compelling evidence of a real positive causal relationship between increased school spending and student outcomes on average. However, an examination of single-state studies suggests that,on average, money matters, but that this is not always so in all settings or in all contexts."

Also see "It’s not nothing: The role of money in improving education" (https://www.brookings.edu/research/its-not-nothing-the-role-...) and "How Money Matters for Schools" (https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/product/how-money-matter...).
Do you have any more information on the abortion policy you're using as a comparison?

Tried to guess which country you were referring to but couldn't find concrete info after a bit of googling.

I don't think the comparison between using more inclusive language to refer to people, and you being forced to abandon your beliefs, makes much sense. Putting aside potential issues with beliefs and their effect on a person's treatment of those around them, no one is forcing you to stop believing whatever it is you believe.

Potentially limited may be how you treat or talk to people, but that is a separate limit than what you are allowed to believe, since once it becomes words or actions, now it's not just in your head but out in reality and potentially affecting others.

Thanks for expanding and clarifying your comments. I too find much of the U.S. court system troubling; more to the point, the common law itself. The standard catch-phrase in the United States (about government in general and the judiciary in part) is "checks and balances", but those checks and balances often seem quite primitive (most having been designed 100+ years prior to mathematical formalism / rigor). We need checks and balances to be sure, but we also need homeostasis and self-repair; we need a rigorous system of axioms upon which to base logical reasoning; we need a solid philosophical grounding. The very fact that a legal rift exists between so-called Originalism and so-called Living Constitution theory tells me the entire system lacks a formal (rigorous) basis.

Given that the American judiciary grew out of the English colonial judiciary, which in practice looked more towards the whims and largesses of the aristocracy than any principled grounding in (legal, philosophical, or mathematical) form and structure, it does not wholly surprise me.

We do better now than the English colonial judges did, but we can do better still.

This person willfully admitted they are not black, which is far different than your criteria of someone who "believes that his soul is black, used to live in black bodies, and was mistakenly reincarnated into a white body on this occasion, but still feels black and carries memories of being black." The analogy falls apart because the stance is based on trolling, not actual beliefs.

The issue is that while someone is building an army, the rest of the world might stand by and do nothing in hopes that the army won't be used, via appeasement and negotiation, particularly if the world's culture is strongly set against having armies. At least until the aggressor starts conquering. That's how it tends to play out historically, so countries and kingdoms go to the trouble and expense of having standing armies, or being able to call them up quickly enough. Because there's always potentially someone who gains power that wants more, and plenty of people willing to follow.

Admittedly I haven't looked into this at all, but the likely answer is extradition treaties.
The media does absolutely soak it for eyeballs and outrage, but at the same time it really is a bellwether for how gender works in a society at larger. Gender is simply a more social / less individual phenomenon than blindness itself is (to use your example).

I find it funny and illuminating to read about conservative cis gays complaining about those darn genderqueer "kids, these days". All media fads aside, we simply haven't reached "queer equilibrium" yet where increasing acceptance of past social categories no longer triggers the emergence of new ones.
The problem with this, from the angle of the employee, is that if they want to move from an HR position to something else they have to entirely retrain and acquire a new degree. Gets cost prohibitive quickly and puts even more emphasis on getting that choice right the first time.
I agree that there is more heat than light in these debates.

The Gender Critical Feminists do make up bogeyman stories about rapists in prisons, trans women disrupting breast feeding groups etcetera.

The Trans lobby though has also been guilty of the same sort of thing. E.g. I am no fan of professional sport (I hope this kills it dead) but to claim that trans women have no advantage over natal women is opinion not fact. The main fault line ion our society is gender, and to claim otherwise is simply wrong. (Not all Trans activists do that, just as not all Gender Critical Feminists are mean).

To me it is heartbreaking that this is not about fixing that fault line. No person has the right to take a interest in another person's gender unless they are their doctor or fancy them and are fussy. That is the issue we should address - how boys are raised to be violent sexual predators requiring female admiration and women are raised to be weak victims requiring male support.

That is getting lost, instead of helping fix the fault line, this debate (the excess of heat, deficiency of light) is making it worse.

I'm not going to read or respond to any of the comments in this thread because I don't want to self-harm today. However, I have to comment on the site linked in the article, noconflicttheysaid.org, because it's absolutely hilarious. It has stories about the supposed negative impact of trans women in women's spaces. I'm not cherry-picking; from the top, the stories on the first two pages are:

1. A woman and her two daughters went into a unisex bathroom. As you might expect, there were men there. Then nothing happened. Also, several years earlier, she went into a women's bathroom that indicated it allowed transgender women, but there weren't any there. https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/scienceworks-immunol...

2. A trans woman in a Facebook group for mothers was trying to simulate a pregnancy and asked people there to share their experience with miscarriages since she knew she couldn't have a baby in the end. She also said she would like to breastfeed someone else's baby. As far as it's indicated, these requests were not made to anyone in particular, they were just posted in Facebook group. https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/online-group-for-bre...

3. Some trans students at a girl's school don't have to wear the uniform, miss school a lot, and do school projects on transgender issues. Apparently, other students resent them for this. https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/all-girls-senior-sch...

4. A trans woman cursed at some counter-protesters at a trans rights rally. In the included video, we see that this was in reaction to the counter-protesters (although not the same ones apparently) spraying water(?) at people. https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/who-s-unsafe-on-camp...

5. A woman who was previously sexually assaulted by men says that she gets nervous and her body tenses up when she's sees a large man. She claims that this is something trans women will never understand. This is completely ridiculous: I myself have this reaction too if I'm alone or it's at night (in a way I did not before I transitioned), and I know other trans women who have similar anxieties about men in general. Anyway, the story is that a trans woman on a bus (where trans women have always been allowed) told some young women that they were pretty and asked them where they bought clothes and underwear. I'll admit that's a bit creepy, but no more so than things men already say to women in public spaces. And again, is the suggestion to ban trans women from buses? https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/trans-woman-harassin...

6. There was a trans woman in a women's bathroom lingering near the sink. https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/women-s-toilets-in-h...

Cut the salary of everyone by 5% and you can have one cleaner for every 20 developers. My point is simply that work should not be cheap, if someone works 40 hours a week for you, you owe that person a wage that allows a decent life, otherwise it is just a mild form of slavery.
I'm also not convinced. Discussing fictional minutia with Star Trek fans is an experience very far from discussing religious topics. No one will hate and ostracize you for thinking Data shouldn't have adopted a cat, for example.

I have to say, this has changed with Discovery. This series has attracted new fans that will definitely hate and berate you if you say the wrong thing about certain characters. Using the incorrect pronouns when discussing trans-characters is an unwritten bannable offense in r/StarTrekDiscovery, for example. That sure feels like religion.
