We read:
"Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed a law that protects employees in the state's executive branch from discrimination and harassment based on "gender identity or expression," reports CCH Business and Corporate Compliance. The directive adds "gender identity or expression" to a list of other prohibited forms of discrimination and harassment, including religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, height, weight, marital status, partisan considerations, disability and genetic information.

It looks like fatties and shorties are protected from comments but surely people who have colds or other illnesses should be protected from "healthism" comments in their hearing and unattractive people should surely be protected from "lookism" comments in their hearing and lazy people should surely be protected from "workism" comments in their hearing etc. We wouldn't want to "harass" anybody, would we?
And how come comments about body odor are still permitted? Surely that should be stamped out! And childless people could very easily be upset or offended by mention of children in their presence so keep those family photos at home! And owners of Detroit products could very easily be offended by people who drive Toyotas so no discussion of cars should be allowed. And don't even THINK of talking about beer! Think how many teetotallers you might offend!
