No, but that same healthcare system will pay for all your medical needs. It works both ways you know.
Um, no, it's doesn't. Not with my tax dollars, it doesn't, anyway.
I'm sorry, but I work too hard for my money for some mother****er to spend my money on bigger titties. I'm just funny like that, in these economic times.
Unless, that person wants to come pay my house note, or my businesses' equipment notes, of course. Then it will work both ways.
You don't get it do you? I've said several times that I don't think breast aug should be covered.
The examples you are giving also don't even apply to this debate. Those aren't medical issues. Everyone has a right to healthcare and I would love my tax dollars to go to healthcare for all. Instead of unnecessary military spending, as an example of something we could cut back on. If you get sick, or if I get sick we need to be able to have the access to health care so we can get better. No matter what, and the insurance companies have only proved that if they can, they will try to weasel out of paying your medical bills, and often don't even cover necessary procedures.
Pitwolfy!!!!!Thank ya'll for this!! I needed the laughs !!

Yes, they should. It's how you treat Gender Identity Disorder which is a medical issue. Would you deny an OCD patient treatment because it isn't "life threatening"?
I think it's disrespectful to berate one for exercising free speech. So I guess we'll both have to learn to deal with it.
he he he he he he he
At work we call them
"Shims"
It has more to do with being comfortable in your own skin. The science of genetics is far from perfect. I say kudos to anyone who is brave enough to get a sex change. I also wouldn't put them in the same category as people who are addicted to plastic surgery. That's just absurd. :roll:
And you would be fired immediately if you did that in my office.
Your star,
Medicare actually denies more claims than private insurers.

nice to know people have free speech in your office.
I didnt say go up and call a client that. Nor did I say anything about telling a boss to suck it.Oh, yeah. Talk to me about "free speech" in the workplace when you go up to your boss and tell him to "suck it" - or call a client the n-word and still have your job.

There's no such thing as free speech in the work place. To imagine so is to live in a world of puppies and rainbows. Try working for Catholic Charities and bitching about the Pope. That'll get you far.
It's long-established law that there is no free speech in the work place. The only "free speech" allowed is well-defined: language restrictions on break time; whistleblower accommodations; religious accommodations that don't negatively impact the mission of the business.
I don't see how insulting transgendered people is protected speech in the workplace (outside, shout "shim" all you like) - any more so than calling every black person who walks in the business the n-word. Your ass should be fired. Period.
Your examples are all examples of free speech in the workplace. I am free to tell my boss to suck it. No govt agents or police officers are going to come and take me away if I do. I'm not going to be charged, or arrested, or jailed. That doesn't mean that what I say won't instigate a reaction from the person I say it TO. I am perfectly free to tell my boss to suck it. And he is perfectly free to tell me not to let the door hit me in the ass on the way out. Neither of us are going to be arrested for it. THAT is what free speech is. Freedom of speech has to do with GOVT limitations (or lack thereof, as it is), not individual repercussions.
