Ensuring interviews are inclusive
Unbelievable. “For trans and non-binary applicants, interview panels can be intimidating.” So here’s an idea: how about you show them the questions ahead of time. Obviously interview panels are not intimidating to anyone except trans and non-binary applicants, so it would be perfectly fair to let trans and non-binary applicants see the questions in advance while no one else gets such assistance.
People in healthcare don’t need to answer complex questions on the spot. Who knew?!
This will be great, because more trans and non-binary people will get hired in healthcare jobs, including ones who aren’t good at answering complex questions on the spot. More of them in healthcare will mean fewer people who are good at answering complex questions on the spot. Result!!
You might remember that I posted a short excerpt of an article I was writing that contains a section on trans doctrine and how I choose to “tolerate” it.
Well, it finally appears here: https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2023/07/not-tolerating-any-intolerance-is-impossible.html
Hope you enjoy it.
Non-binary individuals should be excused from any test that has wrong answers and right answers because that’s binary.
And more trans and non-binary people in healthcare means more women being refused a female provider because TWAW. Oh, and shut up, you bigoted TERF.
I don’t see how this could end well.
By the way, why should non-binary people be more intimidated? You can’t tell they’re non-binary unless they tell you. But, of course, they do. “My pronouns are they/them” aggressively asserted on the application, the written essay, and at the start of the interview.
And far from being discriminated against, I suspect in many jobs, they’re given preferential hiring so the institution can show how ‘progressive’ it is.
I enjoyed it a lot! “What can you do except pass the pot of compromised beans” should be a proverb.
I’ll pass over the insult to the banjo in [almost] silence.
Thanks!
Alan, my Jewish friend, suggested I get rid of the banjo joke. “No one will get it!” he said.
Mike, I enjoyed it, too. You write in a manner I aspire to write. I could relate to the Catholic funeral as my own dad was feted on his way out in the same manner. As an atheist I felt no obligation to repeat the words of all the prayers, but I kept my damn mouth shut in deference to my siblings. It was quite the contrast from my mother’s Lutheran funeral. The minister asked if I, as an atheist, had any specific needs for phrasing or humanist reading. And I told him I appreciated that, but didn’t have anything.
Thanks, Mike. I have a great family. Today, my mom told me that Dad would have gone to church every Sunday–if SHE had let him! She is not so keen on Catholicism, but likes to hang out with ’em!
