1/7/2010 12:53:47 PM

im assuming transgender is someone who surgically maneuvered to the other gender
which automatically tells me their psychotic, why would we say that is an ok thing to do?

1/7/2010 12:54:47 PM

hahah, i get on omegle sometime and they ask "male or female?"

i say shemale, 95% disconnect

but some still want to talk

creepy

1/7/2010 12:55:37 PM

they will use the gay/lesbian/transgender bathroom
we really need one of these

pretty sure you can't surgically alter your gender

1/7/2010 12:59:12 PM

you really are not a smart person

1/7/2010 1:01:26 PM

gender being a social construct and all

as opposed to the physical reality of your biological sex

which is up for surgical grabs

your mom's biological sex is up for general grabs (true story)

pretty sure you can, at least you can go from being a male to a female, just ask [user]ambrosia[/user]
all they gotta do is chop your manhood off and stab you one real good

but as far as transgender, after looking it up, i am not feeling any better about it than before, they're still not right in the head in my opinion

im wondering what is the general consensus here on tww

1/7/2010 5:05:40 PM

Its good to know that he is appointing people that make rational decisions, LIKE MUTILATING THEIR GENITALS.

1/7/2010 5:28:37 PM

Going from female to male is also possible but with a freakishly mutilated artificial penis created from the clit. That's what Chastity (Chaz) Bono did.

1/7/2010 5:46:43 PM

^^
well no shit they're not right in the head, but how would you propose they "fix" their problem otherwise? they either live in depression or switch sides

1/7/2010 5:54:56 PM

they could "fix" themselves by putting a gun to their head and removing their fucked up selves from society

1/7/2010 6:10:27 PM

^ Who the fuck cares what decision they make regarding their body?

If they can do the job assigned to them, what does it matter? The person assigned in the Commerce Department, Amanda Simpson, who I guess was once a man. What does it matter if s/he "switched" sides. To bar them from such position based on a decision about their body kind of just goes to show how closed-minded you are. If they're qualified, why the fuck not?

1/7/2010 6:11:16 PM

can't believe some people still think like this in this day and age.

you can't help how you are born physically/hormonally.

some of you are fucked up.

1/7/2010 6:12:55 PM

because they are obviously not right in the head. they also put coworkers in discomforting situations in the workplace.

1/7/2010 6:14:01 PM

OH NOES DISCOMFORT

And what does this have to do with actually being able to DO the job? If you're saying that s/he can't do the job, then just say it and it up. But to say that because they're transgendered that means they can't do the job, well, so far, that's completely unfounded.

If the person was homosexual, would you be making the same argument? Or Christian?

If their choice or thinking doesn't affect their ability to do the job, then what's the problem? I hope you never become a manager, because you'd suck at it. You're inability to separate people's private lives and choices from their work means that you'd probably turn down a lot of good people to do a job, just because you don't agree with something that's totally irrelevant from the job in question.

Tough shit. They'll adjust. You don't think gays can put coworkers into discomforting situations?

They make others uncomfortable, so they should kill themselves. That's some funny shit.

maybe they can do the job, but they should be the last resort.
If you are weighing who to hire, not being transgender should go a long way
im sure there are still many non-transgendered people that could have done the job as well

im not saying transgender people should be jailed or ostracized, but should be looked at as people with problems, not as ideal people, so even though they should not be automatically be excluded from jobs they should be the last resort

1/7/2010 6:53:04 PM

for all you who want to accept every personal decision that a person makes, then what would you think about the gay/lesbian/etc crowd accepting people who want to marry their pets

Everyone has problems.

Some aren't relevant to the job, like struggling with gender identity.

Some are relevant, like not having the mental capacity to grasp the Redbox $1 rentals.

1/7/2010 7:12:04 PM

some people are born feeling like "a female trapped ina mans body" and they might have some type of chromosome disorder that makes them lean more towards one sex so they make the change.

some people are actually...gasp....BORN WITH A PENIS AND A VAGINA. What do you suggest they do? Most have one removed, some parents have the wrong one removed as a baby.

so coming to grips with your gender is just another problem that an average person might have
like dealing with acne, etc

i dont know what planet you people live on, but gender is one of those, kinda big deals, people have deal with, and a person who is having difficulty with it should get help but they shouldnt get an executive's job
perhaps you'd have a transgender person doing a surgery on you, maybe he might struggle with his identity as a doctor half way through the surgery and instead become a mortician

but i dont see how a transgender person can even get through an interview
we all know what its like, you sit down and they ask you a bunch of questions and you try to sound like you know what you're doing

Q: "whats your name?"
A: Pat
Q: "whats your gender?"
A: "i dont know"

interview over, in my opinion

1/7/2010 7:27:21 PM
