A landmark ruling has found that there is no right to question whether a transgender person is a man or a woman. The Central London Employment Tribunal case upheld the sacking of tax expert Maya Forstater, 45, on Wednesday over 'offensive' tweets questioning government plans to allow people to self-identify as another gender. Miss Forstater, who worked for the Centre for Global Development, was let go by the think tank after sharing her views on reforms to Gender Recognition Certificates..

So let people self-identify.

Then any time anyone jumps ugly on a company for not having the required number of - insert protected class here - the employee/s drawing the short straw/s can self-identify as whichever class is needed.

Just wait until teenage males figure out they can claim to be female for auto insurance purposes.

For that matter wait until teen age drivers figure they can claim they're older for auto insurance purposes.

Now apply that to life insurance.

This is what you get without the 1st Amendment of the U.S.Constitution; "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press ..."

Then the employee can sue them for using the “wrong” pronouns. No way for the normal person to win in this.

How is it that this whole self-identify transgender thing spread across so much of the world and now you are whoever you say you are that day and that it’s illegal to deny this “right”?

It’s like this was a plan to convert our society.

Auto insurance in some states is priced based on the driver’s years of driving experience, regardless of sex or age. It’s a reaction to many drivers’ getting their licenses at 18 or older and to females’ increasing accident rates (due to cell phones).

There's a bit more to it, TC. And, as usual, the nanny state is to blame...

What? Women Pay More Than Men for Auto Insurance? Yup.

You can identify yourself however you want! You think you are purple you can call yourself purple. I just don’t give a rats ass! However neither you or any Government can force me to call you purple. You may want to lie the Government may want you to lie and want to force me to lie but I am not going to lie. You all will just have to deal with it!

Very interesting, thanks. It would be interesting to see the pricing calculations.

You wouldn’t want to inconvenience .00025 of the population, would you?

I think that, with the data-management tools we have today, insurance pricing could be much more reflective of individuals’ actual risk and experience.

It could be if it weren’t for so much freaking regulation.

Insurance is a tool for managing risk. Not promoting social justice.

Note to employers, small to large: Cowering in your offices/boardrooms is no longer an option. Time to haul up your big girl panties and take a stand.
