Default Gender and uniforms…

One pronoun’s perspective:

https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-righ...people-like-me

An excerpt:

The airline’s binary uniform policy dictated every aspect of our dress and grooming — including whether we could wear neck scarves or ties, or dresses or skirts; whether we could wear facial hair or make-up; and even what color shoes or belts we could wear. I sent my first email stating the policy was discriminatory to executive management in the fall of 2019, not realizing the three-year battle that was about to take place.
Justin Wetherell
The illegal and discriminatory uniform policy maintained by Alaska Airlines forces employees like me to dress and groom in a manner inconsistent with our gender identities and gender expressions. There is no reason for the airline to continue to enforce this illegal policy — other than to maintain an outdated and discriminatory idea of gender.
Opinions?

Transgenderism... the new mental illness for rich entitled white kids who desperatly want victim status. They're so desperate that they compare themslves to MLK and the actual civil rights movement, when they're just a bunch of prissy little brats who were never told no, and now want to force the rest of the world to participte in their messed up fantasies.

We have plenty at my kid's school, we've known most of those kids from K - HS. Some of them fit that mold ^^^

Others just don't get enough attention at home, and are not bad kids. But either way, it's a ploy for attention in 99% of the cases.

Funny though, we didn't have any of that growing up small-town inter-mountain west... guess that wasn't the kind of attention they were looking for

i wonder if the acceptance climate in the mountain west had anything to do with that? Matthew shepherd might have had some things to say about it.

Did you all just hear my eyes roll? I hate what this world has become. The apocalypse can’t get here fast enough.

How dare Alaska make their employees dress in a manner that makes them look professional in the eyes of the traveling public. It’s almost as if those demons were running a business or something.
