LOL ... knowing port from starboard isn't important in stearing a vessel - what's important is whether or not you're being discriminated against!

Let me get this straight (pun intended), a transsexual was driving a ferry?

Knowing how to spell isn't important in steering a vessel either.

"Port" and "starboard" are obviously not the only concepts this individual has trouble with... "man" and "woman" seem to be equally difficult to HIM.

Seems "IT" doesn't know "gangplank" from "bung hole" either.

I think he/she's confused about more than just "port" and "starboard"....
To: Jewelsetter
Let me get this straight (pun intended), a transsexual was driving a ferry? And IT admits it made a wrong turn. Well I guess thats a start, though I think somethings have been "adjusted" to a point IT can't go completely back.;)
To: Loyalist
LOL - doesn't know which direction! (Too funny)

Sounds like the person in question didn't know *their* port from their starboard...

A transsexual who was fired by B.C. Ferries last year ...was immediately re-hired by AC/DC Ferries.

Magnone, who told the tribunal she’s been a mariner for years and has extensive skill and training, admitted the incidents occurred but said she believed the ship’s captain, Peter Woo, was generally satisfied with her work. 1. I wonder the following:
When many people "rent" sail boats, row boats, or other watercraft. Many rental companies require that you pass a "basic" seamanship test. And usually there are questions about which side is Port, which side is StarboardDid she get her years of experience on the "Good Ship Lollipop", under Capt.Crunch?
2. Did she get her job with the company, because the company had to follow a "Affirmative Action" requirement? Why ain't Feinstien, Boxer, Hillary Clinton, or Gloria Steinem outraged that the job didn't go to a "REAL" woman.

3 to the port 5 to the starboard and nine straight up the middle, standby for fireworks. You would think any good tranny would know this.
