Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Intro to Gender & Sexuality Intro to Gender & Sexuality Why do we need to talk about Sexuality?

some discrepancy

I am sorry you state in the video that nobody should act like they don't have to in the workplace. that this statement applies also to people who wouldn't accept this kind of thinking? or they must change who they are and how they think to get a job in a matter that wouldn't affect the work of this people if is just tolerant? and if it is the case that nobody really shouldn't change who they are for a job, then why is this course even uploaded? and not one of tolerance at the work place?

look actually you are being prejudice with me by saying this is about my beliefs and intolerant just because you just thought wrongly that I am intolerant by I am openly bisexual. you say what I just said that is the point. is just that offensive to shove everyone's eyes in all places there is not the issue. if you should have read it and not just looked at it unfairly. just on your personal point of view but for me is offensive to take gender discutions in places that dont belong. gender discutions belong in hr or softsskills the thing is that I fear the day I get a paper with my hamburguer talking about gender etiquette. that is my issue but I get you only read with your feelings and not with your head. so if you dont like it ok, dont like it. but at least don't reply with the same idea I said. that you think I meant for that it was an issue for being just course then you are thinking in a prejudice way because I also wrote that it should be part of a bigger course of team work or soft skills. I never said it shouldn't be any course with information about lgbtq discutions. so next time read better think and don't asume. the only intolerant here was you. I posted a few comments explaining all this. just what you said but I guess you take the only one it can be misunderstood and bother about it. I hope this has been a mistake because the only the idea I want to give with all my statemnts is that this should be in a whole course of soft skills not just gender information by its own floating. what would say more that everyone should be treated as everyone else than asking it to be in soft skills and in courses with the specific idea of how to work in a team despite our beliefs.

Perhaps you missed the part where I stated: "I may be wrong; you may simply take issue with the delivery of the statement.". Or other words like "perhaps" as I was not sure how to take it.

I made no assumptions and responded only to the question being asked in a general manner and did not intend to speak to yourself as an individual

Frankly, your sexuality is no concern of mine as you've assumed, just as mine is none of yours.

If you genuinely believe the course matter is of issue, you should contact support and raise the issue.

I'm not interested in entering into an argument, that was not and, is not my intent.

but still you acted with prejudice. it doesn't change if you were right or wrong with your assumption. you acted prejudiced with me. and I contacted and raised the issue about the course(not you) long before. that I never got a reply is out of my hands. I just like seeing things in both sides. not just my side. and actually, neither do I want to get in an argument in this matter any more. I said what I had to say and that is that. but next time don't assume someone who likes having an objective point of view taking ideas you or even the writer don't like, as intolerant. I really think this course should be in soft skills and not floating around. but thanks for explaining your idea and where the missunderstood started in my comment so in the future I don't repeat that mistake.

This statement is not a discrepancy, and frankly, your question is somewhat a logical fallacy.

I could extrapolate from the tone of your question and concluding statement that you're perhaps intolerant of other people whose beliefs may differ from yours. I may be wrong; you may simply take issue with the delivery of the statement.

While I respect your right to your personal beliefs, you're not required to agree with someone else's beliefs, behaviours or identity. In most workplaces, you will simply be expected to act as a professional and not bully, harass or demean other people just because your views do not align.

The adage "do unto others as you would have done unto you" comes to mind; regardless of someones sexual or gender identity.

At the end of the day, whatever someones personal beliefs are, we're all human and personal beliefs should not be imposed upon others.
