I am curious if this is up for discussion our just a call to arms?
So forgive nee in advance for going it is both 🙂
First let me say that I am a body mod enthusiast, I have large tattoos in hard to conceal areas and piercings on the face as well. I am very synthetic to the difficulty it cab present when establishing employment in the main stream.
That being said, I don’t think this amendment to current EO laws would have the effect desired should it actually come to fruition.
First, those laws are there to attempt to level the playing fields against things that are innate in a humane, not choices. One cannot choose nor easily change race, gender, physical disability, and if choose the two hot and debatable ones… Sexual preference and religion. Done argue that body modification is like religion, but good much of religion is really choice? Not much, especially those who have been practicing a faith their entire life, these beliefs are not easy to discard and change. It takes stupid tine and dedication to build them, and probably even more time to attempt to change. Embracing the trains of another faith is one thing, truly changing deeply held serial beliefs us completely different, and those who have changed easily, may big have fully embraced their first religion deeply. Just like one cannot help who they love, if you’re attracted to the opposite or same sex is hardly something one has true control over.
As for getting a job, ideally, the most qualified person for the job should gain employment, but this is the real world and unfortunately we are still judged heavily in appearance. And in some respects a company does have a right to attempt to determine it’s professional appearance. Just as we like to project a particular image, a company may want to do so add well -
Blah, sorry, didn’t get to finish…
Any ways, so my point was, that ok let’s day that this body mod EO actually went through… And we are supposedly given equal chance at jobs despite our choice in altering our bodies, that’s it. That’s shook is going to do. Give the illusion that we are being given equal rights. It is not going to change how a company can require a particular appearance while on the job. If anything, it’s going to restrict more peoples choices of dress and appearance by more companies making more stringent dress code policies to ensure nothing they feel could be damaging to their image could be seen on anyone in their employment. it will be interesting to see which way this goes….
