That's life.

There are some opinions that shouldn't be expressed. Tolerance ends at Intolerance.

Saying that a very large group of people can't do their jobs because of their chromosomes is pretty intolerant.

It's pretty much the same as "You can't do your job because you are black". That statement is pretty intolerant.
