Proof positive he is doing the right thing.
Gender IDs:
Male
Female
Sexually FUBAR
I happen to agree with him. But I also think this isn’t something he should even be weighing in on. What’s the win?
RICO anyone?
/S
Equal Rights, not Special Rights.
Why not just add a line to the standard forms: (a) biological sex/gender; and (b) preferred gender identity. Problem solved.
In the corporate world, it is difficult to think of any role that is formally gendered anyhow. (Informal conventions are a different matter.) Corporations invariably have a stated goal of treating all people with dignity and respect. Corporations invariably pledge to respect the confidentiality of people's personal information. So the question arises: just where exactly, in today's corporate world, might a conflict arise in this area? I suppose one would have to make firm decisions about insurance premiums and annuity payouts based on actuarial tables. What else? I suppose there might be quarrels over assigning gender fluid people to one side or the other in assessing compliance with gender hiring/promotion targets, but as a practical matter, the number of trans people is so small that this is a fairly incidental concern. Is the fuss over getting health insurance policies to cover "sex change" surgeries? What else?
There is an awfully lot of straining in the attached corporate statement to make an issue out of something that seems almost invisibly trivial in terms of real world implications.
Trannies in women's athletics is a real issue. Mixing the sexes in intimate quarters -- locker rooms, showers, dormitory housing, etc. -- is a real issue. But these aren't really relevant to the corporate world.
And their standing? Who cares? Born female, always female; Born male, always male. They might mutilate their bodies, choose to dress as the opposite sex, but end of day, they were born male or female.
So much for the Democrats claim to be the party of science.
My wife delivers babies for a living and when a baby is born, the first thing EVERYONE does, regardless of political leanings, is check the baby’s junk to see whether it’s boy or a girl. Doctors, nurses, parents, EVERYONE.
Then when the extended family and friends get told, it’s the first question everyone asks; boy or girl?
Out of 4000 babies my wife has delivered, there was ever a speck of doubt as to the sex either - the anatomy is completely different - any moron can figure it out at a single glance. A two year old can distinguish a boy from a girl.
So why does it become such a confusing subject for liberals?
What are “Trump gender changes”?
The proposed policy = “water is wet”.
I’d be against a Trump gender change too!
Thank God the Ford Motor Company and my favorite hotel chain aren’t on that list. I don’t give a damn about the rest of those companies.
Well, duh, Apple, Amazon, Facebook et. al. want to keep making money off all the millions of mentally ill. They certainly don’t want to merely market to logical, sane people...that would severely limit their market share and growth potential.
Oh, man, I just got the Trump gender change memo. I wonder where I left the pinking shears...
Shut up and make money, pervert CEOs.
Once again, why isn’t the left against big corporations anymore?
These clowns must have never watched “School House Rocks”
Letters aren’t how laws are made or changed.
Obama’s fault. He slipped this into society without Congress getting involved, or without any discussion. Trump is just restoring normalcy.
Trump didn’t change gender definitions ... the left did that. He just wants to restore them to the scientifically proven male and female.
His response should have been a Huge Anti Trust Lawsuit against the Whole Bunch.
At least Ebay and Walmart are not on the list. Indeed to give more business to them over Amazon as competitive.
