SC=Supreme Court. :) Sometimes written as SCOTUS = Supreme Court Of The United States.
I can't live without hope while in this world. I'm an optimist. :)
Don't let yourself be led to believe prior to these type measures on behalf of the alphabet crew homosexuals could not gain employment. They could and did.
What is being proposed now with this new venture, is a special privilege that would allow homosexuals to invoke their rights while playing the victim and eroding those of others in the work place.
If something is morally right or socially acceptable it doesn't have to be coerced by the threat of law, nor does it have to be tolerated by the masses.
We are made to tolerate only that which is otherwise intolerable. And therein is the issue.
For instance, respective of this new EO, if I refuse to address a male using feminine pronouns because he is clearly male yet identifies by his mental infirmity as female, and due to my faith that this behavior is immoral and not of God, I can be fired or retain employment on the grounds I concede to be re-educated according to ideals and standards that are contrary to my faith.
And while I can sue due to that illegal violation of my civil rights, which precede those of homosexuals, the expense of that is born by me. And meanwhile, I'm out of a job.
The precedent set by the psychiatric profession long years ago should be a vindicator. Gender Identity Disorder, Gender Dysphoria is still in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) of the psychiatric profession.
Gender dysphoria:
A concept designated in the DSM-5 as clinically significant distress or impairment related to a strong desire to be of another gender, which may include desire to change primary and/or secondary sex characteristics. Not all transgender or gender diverse people experience dysphoria.
What Is Gender Dysphoria?.
I'd wonder about the Constitutionality of that defense. Those rights not enumerated in the Constitution are retained by the people. Mentally ill people like those who are suffering Gender Identity Disorder/Gender Dysphoria, should not be entitled to be placated and have the concession by the general public to affirm and confirm their identity is regulated by their dysphoric condition.
I'd wonder how such a counter argument would play out in court.
Lets go to the extreme as far as a identity disorder. Someone claims they are not biologically human but identify as a Lamborghini sports car. If I own a Jiffy Lube, am I able to be sued for discrimination and violation of that human beings civil rights if I refuse to give them an oil change as they insist?
They say they're a Lamborghini because they feel they are a 16 valve Italian work of art on the inside. While disavowing their human biological identity, claiming they were made with the wrong chassis.
Same corollary as with Tranny's. Their biological frame identifies them as human female. While their mind insists their physical being is a mistake of nature and deep inside there is a biological male that needs be revealed. All the while agreeing that hormone and other drug therapies are necessary to afford the change over from the reality to their allusion. As well as drastic often irreversible body augmentation surgeries.
Is that a characteristic of mental wellness? Or mental disorder.
And why should anyone be forced by law to concede this particular mental illness is normal, when professionals vested as physicians of mental health deem to be a mental disorder? Why should I have to agree that person is what their mental illness affords as their illusion of self and thus perpetrate the illness effects by conceding the illness has a right to overcome the patient and reinforce their delusion.
