   Perhaps you are right. I guess I have been sheltered too long. Live a quiet life and rarely debate these kinds of issues. I appreciate the insight I have obtained and I apologize for the use of the word deviant. It was a bad choice. I was quoting...

    nursecathy replied to nursecathy's topic in Safety

    I really agree that there is nothing that should be done to prevent her from being a nurse. She says she will not use a bathroom. She is trying to become female by taking hormones, I think. I have not personally talked to her, yet. Do I allow her...
