Labor Department adds 'transgender status, gender identity' to workplace discrimination list

The Department of Labor is seeking to remove the terms "he" and "she" from a regulation prohibiting discrimination in the workforce in an effort to "avoid the gender binary."

The agency is also adding "sex stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity" to the list of types of employment discrimination banned under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. If adopted, the regulation would cost job training centers millions of dollars to change their equal employment opportunity posters to include "gender identity."

Before you comment, you should consider these wise words from our bureaucrat Secretary of Labor, "Our nation's workforce system should reflect our commitment to diversity and the idea that America works best when we field a full team."

Because all of the other problems in the world have been solved, we need to spend $billions on this.

What is being done to American business right now is the final takedown of our economy. This and the regulations requiring white men to be passed over for raises and promotions to avoid EEOC violations. Cloward and Piven.

Buh-bye to Title 9 athletics. Now persons identifying as male-type individuals will dominate all ranks in sports.

Then, we will need segregated team equity for all other persons identifying as femaie-type persons.

Oh wait! What about people who identify as neither or both or . . . or . . . or are tri, quad and nano sexual?

Choice is good!

Right there is a big part of how Obama became president.

Ah yes, the woman who was the center of a sex scandal....

Only a republican could have sex scandal involving him having sex with his own wife....

Seriously, we wound up with Obama, because this woman and her husband went to a sex club, and shockingly enough her husband wanted to have sex with her, his wife, while people watched.

That little tidbit was enough to have him withdraw from the race and we wind up with Obama in the Sentate.... Insanity.

Employers should remove all gender labels from their records. We don’t ask the gender of our employees.

“The agency is also adding “sex stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity” to the list of types of employment discrimination banned under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.”

What is this nonsense? Is “the agency” suddenly Congress now? How can they “add” to an act passed by Congress?

If your doctor refuses to perform one, you should be able to sue him, just like the homos who sued the bakers.

Yes, if a man wants to play in the WNBA, they will have to employ him or be sued out of existence. So it wouldn’t take long before they are no female athletics at all.

Sorry, but there are two sexes, which they call the gender binary.

Heck, if that woman was my wife, I’d want everyone to know I was having sex with her too :)
