    Sure if a person prefers a set of pronouns and you choose to defy that preference, you’re kind of rude.

    Don't care about her being transgender.

    The only problem that I have is that Biden seems to be picking a lot of people based on pandering. He should be picking people based on whether or not they are the top in their field for the subject they're being hired for. And I do mean the top. And since no doubt someone will bring up Trump, yes, I hated it when he didn't pick the top people also. In fact I wondered WTH he was thinking putting Ben Carson in HUD. He's a brain surgeon...not a housing development specialist. Of course I also wondered why Ben Carson would even accept such a job. :shrug:

    Are you saying it takes a woman with balls to be qualified?

    Huh?

    Wow.:smh:

    Should I take from your comments that you are not a fan of the choice of Dr. Levine?

    It's not about it being possible, it's about it being necessary. And necessary it isn't. Neither is it advisable.

    Logic requires a logical person, and logical people don't put abnormalities above expertise.

    I’m saying that her genitalia has nothing to do with ability to do her job.

    Y’all are really worried about what she has in her pants. It’s getting weird.

    Shall I take from that question that you think someone who released elderly Covid patients into nursing homes should be promoted to Assistant Health Secretary?

    So in your opinion no trans person should have a job? Because it’s not necessary?

    Logical people put actual expertise/well-constructed positions (regardless of the person making them) over complaints of personal "abnormalities." Is this your first time encountering the concept of logic? This should be logic 101. Literally. I've tutored it. Please catch up.

    None of what you offered up were pronouns. Do you prefer she, her, hers? Maybe them, they, theirs?

    If you want simple sentences, read my replies; and then compare them to the mangled messes you've been posting to me.

    Care to explain your quotation marks? I’m not picking up what you’re putting down.

    None of my sentences should have been particularly difficult for an English speaker to understand. Let me know where I can help you. Or try answering any of the questions I asked . . . which you failed to do.

    That's just modern politics. Bush picked loyal Republicans. Clinton picked loyal Democrats. Bush picked loyal Republicans. Obama picked loyal Democrats and Socialists. Trump would have picked 100% loyal Nationalists but there aren't many in D.C., so he got stuck with some backstabbing RINO's as well as loyal outsiders.

    Biden's choices are in the same trend. The people he is picking are political favorites, loyalists and people who will help drive his particular agenda and vision for the country.

    This is nothing out of the ordinary.

    After dealing with people over the last 4 years or so of people getting their knickers in a knot over Trump having two desserts, mine is simple commentary with a clear statement. Physical attributes should not play a factor.
