People can talk about being "open-minded" all the want, but what's going to happen when a MTF pre-op transsexual comes into your office seeking medical advice? How do you refer to him/her? Does the fact that they have biggiantimplants and a penis gross you out?

I figured if I can deal with working in the hood (re: being the only asian in tha houuuuse) and the MSM crowd I can pretty much handle anything.

For me personally, if I can't figure how the person would like to be addressed, I ask. Straightforward and to the point, without being condescending or an ass about it. I'm human, I don't know everything about everyone, and when dealing with GLBTQ etc, sometimes you just have to ask. I've never had anyone be offended by it, either. Most people I've talked to are thankful that you care enough to ask rather than make assumptions anyway. And no, implants/penis don't gross me out.
I actually think transsexuals are so marginalized by mainstream society that I would be glad to have them in the office getting medical advice from a doctor rather than buying hormones on the street or seeing some hack because of income/insurance/socioeconomic status or any other reason.

This.
 
It really wasn't an attack on you per se, just something to think about for everyone. I had a link to a really good seminar put on by a Jefferson medical college professor on the PSU website, but I'm headed out the door to get coffee. This **** is ridiculous.

I've also had people complain about one of my coworkers on the DL, a fellow tester, for making some dumb assumptions and just being unaware in general.
 
Meh, diversity is a weird issue. It works if people are willing to interact with one another and learn from each other. Otherwise, it is just a ploy. At my undergrad, a lot of the students self-segregated and didn't interact/hang out with students from different cliques.

1: So...man, this is CRAZY...what if we had, like, a store...and we could get a whole BUNCH of pipes...and sell them...for MONEY.
2: Dude...think of how many ounces we could buy with MONEY.
1: And...no, wait...this is the best part. We could call it...wait for it...TWENTY AFTER FOUR.

Not just any teenagers, but children of aging wannabe hippies who gave them lots of pot! I'm from Boulder. This town probably has a higher stoner rate than literacy rate, and that's saying something because it's one of the most educated places in the US.

I thought you said "medicated" at first and in Colorado that refers to medical MJ. :laugh:

Haha, how can you expect a viewer to finish the movie when half the actors who signed on wouldn't even finish filming? I saw this on Adult Swim and developed a case of "wtf face" that persisted for at least two weeks:

(no, that's not really me)
