Mike well said as always. i am really fed up with the business that I used to enjoy.

If I am ever forced to take on a pronoun like on the spot or something, I’m definitely going to choose that one Don.

Are beer and cigarettes made of carbon? I think so! It’s an all around perfect fit. Imagine being so hopelessly antagonistic to others that you feel the need to place your religion, your sexual preference, your political affiliation, and your net worth in every signature line you may ever write on every last letter. That’s the progressive left for you. Somebody needs to bake me this cake before I turn green.

It’s only proper to post this link, as I did also share the pronouns link below. In all things, balance is appropriate. If you never signed up for the AFA monthly paper magazine, it’s free and interesting. We buy the christmas stuff and the ryan dephrates videos for the kids. Vote with your wallet. Vote with your feet.

So now we have progressive liberals pushing radical gender indoctrination on our kids in the public schools. CO is apparently ‘the pioneer’ where this may be proliferating the most rapidly. The people doing this seem to always be newer hires, and/or counselors or psychologists. We’re literally being discriminated against and pushed around by radical mental health counselors. You can’t make this up. Meanwhile private Christian schools of worth are approximately $7.5k per child per year and have no such gender indoctrination aspect. We could really use a sponsor in case there happens to be any well to do readers of this material… I may now have to choose between an appraiser career or this school, because I’ll have to get out and find a new job to be able to have assurance to pay that bill consistently. Just whip out $15k or more a year, for the next 7-9 years. It’s that, abide the unwelcome changes, or move to another state entirely.

You know, it’s one thing to provide appraisal services to people with different lifestyle choices than I have, I truly do not mind and have found such experiences normal and pleasant. We talk about housing, real property, market trends, I provide a quality service, nobody pushes their specific views on the other, and it’s just all good. I’ve done many husband husband and wife wife sort of appraisal scenarios and it’s never been a problem. But when certain people use the power and authority of a public school system when they know very well there are many parents whom ideologically and/or religiously object, and they push this directly to the children, it’s an entirely different ball game. As every piece of educational material and curriculum rapidly changes over to more progressive friendly content. The non discrimination rules are now causing active discriminating against new categories of people. I suppose this sort of over bearing approach is nothing new but it’s clearly not necessary and is not an ethical practice. I mean, do what you want in your own time but when we step through the door as licensed professionals, we check our personal baggage and possibly ideologically conflicting positions at the door. Not for public teachers and these teachers unions though, they apparently have free reign to force everyone to bake that cake. We just lost all opportunity for a fair participation in female sports for our daughters in this entire state. SD & MT however, they both just passed regulatory measures prohibiting such discrimination and in turn have re established safe and private spaces for females in public schools. It’s getting more and more difficult to want to hang on in a progressive blue state, at least from a parents perspective. And it all started with apparently benign set of simple language changes. After that comes an avalanche of changes, buyer beware.

Did you just use REVAA and ethics in the same sentence? I would have sworn that was impossible!

“It” is considered derogatory to one of the protected alphabet-people categories I think. (no offense to furrys or transspecies advocates)

Applicable to those that screw with USPAP just to be seen as being relevant.

The only thing we need to retire is The Appraisal Foundation. Go back to any pre 2008 USPAP version and use that.

No word-smithing. No reinterpretation of the English language. No special interest carve outs. NO obfuscation of who or what appraisers are. Lets be clear. USPAP was intended for REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS. USPAP should define appraisers covered by USPAP as ONLY real estate appraisers. Not some vague collection of ‘valuation’ service providers.

Thasshole(s) Defined as those placing PC, partisan, linguistic social engineering above principles. Most commonly used to denote plural entities, but may be used in its singular form as well.

I don’t think it refers to appraisal reporting. Rather, it addresses the use of pronouns within USPAP. Anyhow, what happened to good, old fashioned It?As non binary as it can be.

Isn’t about a fifth of our nation subject to the Napoleonic code where gender was written into the laws? Aren’t we already having a national crisis, and some theroestists are trying to add genders?
I can’t be neutral, can you?

The problem with constantly changing ethics is that if radical ideas are injected which may conflict with the moral standards of the majority, then it’s not ethic, but rather activism, forcing otherwise unwelcome views on others. Basic philosophical principals. Who do these people think they’re representing?

This appears to also be a setup to eliminate personal inspections and accountability completely. Is REVAA rewriting the ethic book now? Daring to read the content is like voluntarily taking two more ethics classes every cycle without the CE credit.

Just don’t use “his and hers bathrooms” LOL

I can’t remember using any either, it’s more about TAF being idiots.

Or as in Star Trek of a few years ago, when 7 0f 9 refers to humans–male or female as ””CARBON UNITS”’.

SERVEY SAYS “”””DAVID IS CORRECT””””” BINGO

praise the lord for you, i left in January 21, nonsense and destructive behavior going on now, and not about the appraisal profession for the good.

USPAP primary Standards are not written using pronouns. Where these are used is elsewhere in ‘the book.’ Rather than ‘define’ the pronouns to appease those who might be offended, just replace all references in ‘the book’ to “the appraiser.” Simple.
