"Although there is no concept of the divine in gender identity theory, there are elements that could be considered religious. There are symbols, chants, flags, parades, and ‘holy’ days. There is a belief in what could be termed transubstantiation where the substance of the body is believed to change from one sex to another. A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul.
The idea of a heretic or infidel is also relevant. People and organisations who don’t subscribe to gender identity theory, or who publicly criticise or even question it, have been denounced or ostracised, and products and publications boycotted.
Detransitioners, who no longer subscribe to the theory, are akin to apostates."
— A New Religion, by Collette Colfer

UPDATE from Charlie Jacobs on the San Diego legislation:
The San Diego board of supervisors ignored the dozens of people who called in and appeared to oppose the adoption of CEDAW in San Diego that was designed to provide safeguards to woman from discrimination. Instead that ordinance which was passed 3-2 split by party lines, redefined woman as including anyone who believes that they are a woman, even oddly, "transmen". The three Democratic supervisors were not persuaded by the opposition that woman are not protected by the ordinance. Those supporting the ordinance made nonsensical arguments that the ordinance will protect against sex trafficking.
Vice Chair Nora Vargas, one of the Democrats voting for the Ordinance served as the first Latina Executive for Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest.
Terra Lawson-Remer, another yes vote is a new mother. We thought that she might be able to understand a woman's perspective, but she appears to not have read the ordinance, and was illogically persuaded that since the ordinance did not affect schools, that the ordinance was not changing any existing laws. She also left the hearing when the opposition spoke, but returned later to hear the phoned oppositions.
The final Democrat is bully and he had a woman opposing the Ordinance arrested for going over on her time.
