Ohh was just musing on it from a legal perspective. It's the one thing I can think of that's a decision driven protected class.
It is funny how attacks on the protected classes seem to rhyme. Homosexuality is presented as being a decision to try attack it. Gender identity is presented as being a choice is also presented as decision to try and discredit it.
Now I'll agree that religion is a class someone can move through, into and out of. But I don't think that particularly matters. Someone can realise their sexual identity later in life, then realise they are wrong and it was something else. I don't think that's them making decisions, so much as learning more about themselves and the world. So how someone can move around a religious space doesn't really interest me in terms of what it means as a protected class.
Muse away, transphobes have trodden a lot of ground if you want a head start.
