DOJ Says Law Doesn’t Bar Transgender Discrimination

[SuburbanFarmer]

It's a great solution to the obvious scenario of a male employee saying he is a woman in order to gain preferential treatment.

These people need help, not encouragement and changes to our laws.

According to the law, there should be no preferential treatment for female employees. Non-issue.

Society should not be throwing gasoline on the fire of mental illness. These people need serious help.

And that issue will be resolved by making them unemployed?

Are you willing to say the same thing for every other mental illness?

Do I think we should fire or refuse to employ people with any mental condition? That's about half of the current workforce that we know of.

It's not the employer's job or concern to determine mental health. If we're really depending on them to do so, then we are severely fucked.

I didn't say we should bar all people with mental illness from employment. Try to use the brain God gave you. Can you imagine situations in which a mental illness might render a person unacceptable for some position of employment?

What exactly is the employer's "job or concern?"

Is social justice, feelz, gibs on that list?

You've got your fucking armed goons in uniform to take care of all that shit.

Effectiveness at the position applied for. Potential utility and value to the business. That's it. That's all that should ever matter to an employer.

If they're stupid enough to hire based on their feelz, then they deserve to go out of business.

Of course. But that's not the same thing as saying "nobody with this illness can work for me, because my feelz say so".

That would be no different than saying "colored need not apply".

Never heard of affirmative action?

Never heard of affirmative action?

Sure. It's a pathetic response to a problem that shouldn't exist.
