Prop 1 Would Mandate Extreme 'Trans Rights' in New York

NY Post: Prop 1 would mandate extreme ‘trans rights’ in New York – and that’s not even the worst of it

If nothing else moves New Yorkers to vote this November, Proposition 1 should: It would not only write the most extreme “trans rights” into the state Constitution, it would legalize rank discrimination on the basis of . . . pretty much every far-left agenda item.

Democrats are selling this “Equal Rights Amendment” as protecting abortion rights, which are in no way under threat in New York and aren’t really what it’s about anyway.

It’s without question the greatest bait-and-switch in Empire State history.

New York’s Constitution bans discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed or religion; Prop 1 would add new protected categories: ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes and reproductive health care.

The supposed advance in abortion rights is that it outlaws discrimination against you because you had an abortion, which is beyond boutique.

Meanwhile, the scrum of other protections adds up to, among other things, stripping parents of their rights over allowing minors to go on puberty blockers and undergo transgender surgery.
