"That's the question. If he opts not to service women at all rather than servicing them as described in that clip I posted, then he needs to be able to explain why not, what is the harm in the official standard that would be obviated by using his standard instead." He does not believe that the conventional approach offered in the sports place works. The statements in the policy (which are fairly standard) are fine but the belief he has, supported by the evidence he has obtained, suggests that this situation remains conducive to violations of the official standard. Regardless of the stated policy of the sports place, he believes that if he were to work in those conditions the likely hood of his operations contributing to the bad statistics would increase. The allegation has been made that his standard could cause harm to persons denied his service. The harm would not be in lack of service since there are alternatives. The harm would be on the basis of prejudicial treatment. This allegation has been reviewed and we found that Joe does not have an unfavorable view of the persons or type of persons being denied his service. The grounds he used for selecting clients were in regard for their well being and in regard for the reduction of harmful encounters for all. The typical types of harm related to mistakes, or incompetency will neither be increased or decreased by his standard. The possibility that a client who was not aware of his sexual orientation (latent homosexuality) could arise. Joe is prepared to deal with this as a low risk of harm and it would not be clearly a good vs bad situation in any event.
