You can have majority rule that respects minorities without having to specifically single out every minority. That's essentially the principle upon which our country was founded.
I wonder, Tom, where you come down on the popular vote thing. It's exactly the same thing.
The tyranny of the majority (reflected via the house) is tempered by the power given to the states in the Senate.
Similarly, the tyranny of the majority is tempered by the power given to the courts to define 'discrimination'.

I cannot keep up
cisgendered is a made up term to refer to "normies". IOW 99.3% of the world.
It's also a silly connotation, because the simple definition of 'trans' is different, and 'cis' is same.
They want to start using it because people don't know what it means so they think it 'sounds' better... but that ends as soon as anyone learns what it means.
