Well now. I will say that I agree with Martina who doesnāt want to play against a former man/partial man but I donāt know why you had to go to Russian media for a British news story which makes me skeptical. Are you just stirring the pot?
Additionally, I think a man who has transistioned to a woman should have to prove she has no dick. Some trans women still have dicks (to my understanding).
I believe women tennis players should be required to expose their genitals to the crowd before play starts.
Nope. I just like RT. Hereās the story from various other sources.
So, Iām interested a bit in this case. This guy was fired for saying he would not ācall any 6ft tall bearded man madamā. I canāt imagine calling one that, either, but I might anyway if he asked politely. Itās just not a big issue to me, although Iād feel ridiculous doing it and I might slip a few times.
My question is simply, would you? If he asked politely, āplease use female pronouns for meā?
āthe judge ruled his beliefs were āincompatible with human dignity.ā
I probably would accommodate his wishes. Just because Iām nice that way.
Do you think his (Christian) belief is incompatible with human dignity?
No, I think refusing to call someone by an unconventional pronoun is (slightly) rude but I donāt think anyone should lose their job over it in most cases. Perhaps if theyāre working for a Trans rights organization and they refuse to do that, firing might be reasonable, but not in most cases.
I agree. Whatās different between this and the case where the baker refused to make a cake for a gay couple because of personal conviction?
There are differences, but you appear not to recall that I believe the baker should have the right to refuse to make a custom cake because of his religious beliefs. If the cakes are pre-made and on the shelf for sale, I donāt believe the bakery should have the right to refuse to sell one of the pre-made cakes to a gay person, but if itās a custom job I believe anyone should have the right to refuse for any reason.
Where Iām really torn is whether restaurants should have the right to refuse to serve Sarah Sanders or OJ Simpson (both of which actually happened in the real world). The food they make isnāt really custom. Itās on the menu and available for sale. If you can refuse to serve Trump supporters, can you refuse to serve liberals, or blacks, or Jews? On the other hand, I would hate to have to serve either Sarah Sanders or OJ Simpson if I worked at one of those restaurants. As I said, Iām torn.
I think people have the right to do that here. I donāt really know what the law is (maybe there is some limitations or exceptions like if itās because of race)but Iāve seen the sign, āWe reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.ā
The only people who are going to consistently lose rights are Christians. Youāre safe.
What is a typical day like for a diabetic.
It wasnāt a trick question. Iām going to prison tomorrow so I better go to bed. Night, Reg!
I wake up around 8 am. I never set an alarm. Thatās around when I wake up, generally, although it can range from 6 am to about 10 am. I usually have two coffees and check my blood sugar after the second one. Itās almost always fine. I donāt eat breakfast. I donāt care if people say I should.
I eat lunch around noon or 1 pm. About four times a week, we eat out for lunch. Three times (ish) a week Iāll make it at home. If we eat out, itās often at a vegetarian Hare Krishna place called Govindaās that I love. Hereās an example of their food. If I eat out, I need insulin after and inject it wherever I happen to be, including right at my table if Iām at a restaurant. Nobody cares.
If we eat at home, itās often steamed seafood with fruit. Fresh salmon if I can find it. Hereās an example of something I made a few days ago. Soy shrimp with blueberries, bananas, melons and gooseberries. I cook and Isa cleans up, but I am a super clean cook so thereās very little cleanup after aside from putting the dishes in the dishwasher. If I cook, I almost never need insulin.
I then usually get some work done in the afternoon, if I feel like it. If not I just surf the net. Later weāll usually go for a walk or play pool or ping pong. Sheāll go swimming a few times a week and I canāt join because of my post surgery wound. Hopefully in a few more months I will be able to swim, too. At night, weāll have a similar meal at home, but smaller. Iāll eat a banana or two later in the evening. I always check my blood sugar about 30 min after every meal. Again, unless I cheat (which I do about twice a week), I wonāt need insulin. If I do, itās usually not much.
Thatās it. A totally unremarkable life, not made more remarkable by my disease.
Have fun. Chat when you get out.
Why are you going to prison Michele?
Iām going to visit my nephew.
Sorry about last night, Reg. I was not expecting such openness out of you. I even imagined you squirming and searching for an excuse to change the subject.
Also, Iāve never paired protein with fruit. I like it. Maybe Iāll try it next week.
And you cook? I thought you probably called your food in and had it delivered.
I used to eat every meal out. I got fat. Unlike most in Canada, I didnāt just say āOk Iām fat nowā and keep doing that. I changed and it worked. I am not fat.
I love protein and fruit together. I was born in Malaysia and they do it a lot out there.
They could use that as a motto on their flag.
