Personally, I think it's a reasonable law.
But that doesn't mean the world agrees:
"This is an insult to people of color and other racial minorities who have fought for equal opportunity through civil rights based on unchangeable characteristics."
Maybe I'm missing something. How is saying "Don't discriminate against transgendered people" somehow insulting to everyone else who has wrongfully had civil rights denied to them?
