Discriminating among kinds of discrimination

What we talk about when we talk about discrimination:

Equivocation in the first degree.

The word “discrimination” has a neutral meaning and a pejorative one.

The neutral one is just knowing the differences between things. If you have to sort stones out of a bowl of peas, you have to discriminate between stones and peas.

The pejorative one is treating people harshly for bad reasons or no reason. “Whites only” signs are discrimination in action.

Euan Weddell, aka “Sophie Molly,” is pretending that knowing a man is not a woman, aka discriminating between men and women, is the pejorative kind of discrimination when of course it’s not.
