1. I might be wrong, but I believe that most discriminatory practices on gender equality are already prohibited by law, and therefore, all appropriate organizations are exempted from those laws under appropriate circumstances.  Nevertheless, I am willing to write in exceptions for gender groups that don't stand for sexism.

2. I'm actually not very comfortable with gender exceptions on drafting.  Of course, I am vehemently opposed to drafts under any circumstances, but I think women that were to be drafted would likely end up working in positions that have limited (if any) combat involved.  However, if this becomes an issue, I will write a provision into the amendment to fix this.

3. I think that transgendered males are still defined as males under the law, and so would be subject to restroom policies- the same would apply for females.

President Napoleon, as the author of this amendment, your input would be appreciated.

What set of people do you mean by 'transgendered males'? My opinion of the language usage and of the current law is unformed until this is cleared up.

To Senator Clarence, dressing as such-and-such (gender expression or performativity for people who are hip to the lingo) can certainly be argued to be choices, but the feelings and perceptions that underlie this aren't, so it's a matter of how one is to deal with where what isn't a choice becomes what, arguably, is. It's similar to the distinction between homosexual inclinations and homosexual actions that for example the Roman Catholic Church makes.

Sorry for not making that clear- I was referring to men whose gender identities conform to those of females and presumed that men which are in that demographic are required to use men's restrooms and that this wouldn't be affected by the amendment.
