My goog office has many trans engineers. They're very good at their jobs. I guess they might not want to work in an office designed by you, either now or at some stage in their transition. You'd be missing out on their talent.

trans engineers who refuse to work at a place with binary toilets?
If a population of conservative engineers existed who refused to work at a place with non-binary toilets, would you make the same statement? Or would they not be good at their jobs?
Having a conservative politic is a choice. That person probably has a lot of intersecting workplace difficulties that go along with being the type of person who wants to police which bathrooms people use.

I could speculate the same about the trans engineers, I'm sure it wouldn't be welcome.
> Having a conservative politic is a choice
Please expand on this; what specifically is not a choice in contrast, and how does this relate to this situation?
There are situations in which I feel "uncomfortable", and not by choice; but this is unrelated to whether I am receiving unfair treatment.
