Being qualified for a job is not just having a Uni degree / high school diploma. For example, I could have a degree - but if I am a surly and arrogant arse, why should I expect an employer to give me the job? I for sure would not employ someone who may throw a hissy fit when something does not suit them. When employing someone, you also need to take the future into consideration - and as LBs do tend (in general) to be somewhat "screwed up in the head", it is a bit of a risk. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 If the boss doesn't like ladyboys , he can choose to employ anyone he prefers. No need to mention it in the ad. That's just stupid . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have stated your position at least once. I partially agree with you – no person should be hated or abused or misused. However, the problem is, your position negates, or simply ignores, all the baggage that comes with being a "transgender woman". The “scientific” stance until 1974 was that homosexuality was a psychological illness. The pressure to change this position began with gay activists attacking the APA committee that decides what disorders appear in the DSM. Eventually, some committee members removed homosexuality from the list of mental disorders. The decision was not based on any “science” or even on new studies. It was based on fear, intimidation and political pressure. The transgender issue has followed this very same pattern. Individuals who believe they are a different sex than that of their biology were once considered psychologically ill. This position was again changed, not due to any “science” or new data being available, but purely due to politics. Now, although a Thai boss may not be thinking along these lines – he may be thinking “what would the customers say?” What if the companies main customers were from a nation that has little LBGT understanding? Would it be right to ruin a company (and the livelihoods of the other employees) for the sake of political correctness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being opposed to discrimination because of someone’s sexual orientation or if they are transgender is not being pc, it is simply rejecting prejudice.

Your view that homosexuality is a mental illness is equally repellent. Views like those fuel discrimination. ?? Where did I say that? I said it was the "scientific" position.

Though I still disagree with the views you express in your post on pc and why changes in thinking have occurred. And, of course, I still reject any any notion that a transgender woman or man should be refused a job because they are transgender.

Biology includes neurology and cellular biology as well. Our brains play as large a role in gender as genitalia does. It's not as simple as penis=male, vagina=female.
