[QUOTE="Laurie!, post: 414471, member: 2210"] I still say, you can't simply trust employers, school admissions staff, etc to. select based on merit. History proved they didn't do it and minorities were statistically misrepresented. Here, I'm unaware of any programs that force employers to hire a certain number of women/minorities but there are incentives to do so (tax credits, etc). Universities or colleges (unless private) are supposed to admit a certain number of First Nation students, other visual minorities though. I don't believe in sex change therapy for minors either. I do sympathize with the very minimal number who do seem certain what their gender should be as opposed to just being tomboys, gay or whatever. Although, you can't give the power to parents to allow their baby boys to be circumcised when the baby obviously can't understand the ramifications....and then say parents can't determine whether their child wants to be the opposite gender.
