Its not only the right thing to do, its good for a companys bottom line.
And the government of California is such a well run entity where it needs to dictate to the private sector. Anyhow would a transgender count on way or the other?
Waiting for the State of California job posting for a Vagina Inspector.
You are on the the unfortunate right track. This is only the first step; next will come the requirement that all the special classes be represented on the boards and then, let’s just not bother with the Whites.
I identify as a woman ... who is attracted to women. Yes, that’s right. I’m an XY Lesbian, with intact fully functional external “plumbing”. How’s that for “diversity”.
Will a tranny count?
Ahh, lieberal bias - dripping with undertones that CA is leading the way, and more will certainly follow.
Any such law is illegal and unconstitutional.
Also, since there is an infinite spectrum of genders this is “unfair” to all those genders in between male and female. Besides, anyone can change his/her/its birth record and “become” legally another gender.
Q: if someone is given a position because of gender, and he/she/it changes his/her/its gender, is he/she/it guilty of fraud?
What about a man who simply self-identifies as a woman? Would he count? And if so, would he have to shave before every board meeting?
What is some of the guys, as a business decision, decided to “Identify” as women?
The State might equally decree that any or all conceivable minorities also be represented on corporate boards - the mentally handicapped, left-handers, Lithuanians, etc.
The bottom line is that the State is directing how private business operates simply because it wants to, not to restrain any infringement on others by businesses. There is no end to the appetite for such arbitrary control over other people’s property and freedom.
Titular private ownership, with effective State control, is the Fascist economic model.
Typically, companies know whats good for their bottom line and do these things on their own without being forced by law.
Oh... I thought this said BEDROOM.
WTF?
Just wait till they mandate who you marry or who must be in your family.
~~I fell so invalidated. None of the male board members ever vote the way I do and when I speak it’s like they are not listenting~~
Dear Ms. Watchacallya,
You have been selected to sit on the board of ZZZ Corporation for purposes for fulfilling the state mandate.
You are wholly unqualified to work in this position. You will be content to accept a junior board member’s salary— and you are the only “junior” board member; to attend company parties where your sole duty will be to smile and engage in the vacuous vapid small talk you currently engage in with your BFFs on the weekends, so you’re pretty good at that; and to stand next the CEO in publicity photographs in suitable attire.
Take it or leave it.
Signed,
:)
Leading to demands for at least one Hispanic, one black, one gay, one Muslim, one disabled, one Eskimo....
and then each will demand two because hiring only one will be denounced as “tokenism”.
Will a transgendered man qualify? Or will they also mandate a board member of each type of transgender, along with gays, and of course a racial quota?
Then a dog, then a cat, then a chimp, etc.
Everybody in the pool!!
In my former office, it was ALL females. Meetings were torture.
Everyone HAD to talk at once and it got louder and louder until I thought my ears would bleed.
We had one cackler that I could have strangled, everything was hilarious for her.
Try that on for a couple hours!
Fascism plain and simple.
