"Race and gender are innate and immutable. On the other hand, gender reassignment is a choice, and a disorienting one for all involved. Not only does the operation involve physical mutilation and massive amounts of opposite-gender hormones, the conflict of feeling trapped by one's biological gender is often not resolved by the reassignment.
And yet it creates massive amounts of conflict for those around him or her who must adjust to the new gender.
In not thinking through all the issues at hand, the City Council ascribes a special legal status to those who do not warrant them"

Lol, "Race and gender are innate and immutable" ??? Clearly someone doesn't venture outside of their own ethnic group and/or class very often.
