Relativism just doesn’t cut it in my opinion. One’s expectation is different from another’s and this can be so confusing and might even get me in trouble. I find it easier just to stick with one clear rule.

Yes. The “celebration of diversity” at my job allows cross-dressing men
to use the ladies room. As a woman, that scares the daylights out of me.

@LH – part of me agrees with your comment that “‘normal’ people are now the minority”. I came out of a college environment that willfully marginalized the majority and elevated minority voices regardless of what they were saying. They called it a celebration of diversity…

My ability to harass them, or my ability to not get caught harassing them?

And now you’ve had your harassment training, do you feel your ability to harass people has gone up?

I think the general rule for business’ is “don’t hurt anyone’s feelings”.
Period. So yes, with that mindset employee’s would have to treat everyone
else the way they wanted to be treated instead of the moral code of the
bible we live by.
The world has become so sensitive to “protected classes” that it has spilled
over into everyday life and “normal” people want some of that special
treatment. And I think that is because the “normal” people are now the
minority. I know I have faced this same feeling in my job recently. I had
to repent for those feelings and stay in prayer for my company.
It is really unfortunate that our world had become this “fleshy”. But I must
say, it has made me turn more to my bible and fellowship with God.
