A person in Oregon named Valeria Jones is suing catering company Bon Appétit Management for $518,682 because coworkers used female names in reference to Jones despite the fact that Jones had continually expressed the desire to be addressed only with gender neutral pronouns.
Some of the terms the coworkers called Jones included, for example, “little lady,” “lady” and “miss,” reports The Oregonian. The coworkers said Jones looked like a woman—possibly some unidentified female celebrity
Jones’s lawsuit, filed this week in Multnomah County Circuit Court by Portland attorney Donel Courtney, doesn’t identify the pronoun Jones prefers.
The Oregonian suggests that people in LGBTQ communities sometimes prefer the plural word “they” instead of “he” or “she.”
So, for example: Jones, a catering employee, diced the carrots and then they grated the cheese.
The specific breakdown of the damages Jones seeks in the lawsuit is $18,682 in lost wages and benefits and $500,000 for pronoun pain and humiliation.

How about call her IT LOL!
I would definitely agree to “it”.
A normal, intelligent judge would throw this moron in prison for at least 10 years for bringing a phony, baloney, plastic banana BS “lawsuit” and wasting taxpayer time and money in our court.
How about they pay “it” with bitcoins or maybe the equivalent in carbon credits. Or all in pennies.,
I have some names for “it” but I don’t want to get banned.
Coming soon: Teaching proper grammar in school now considered hate speech!
“Darn You” shakes fist...
Here you go, folks. We warned you it wouldn’t stop with “homosexual ‘rights’ “Gay marriage” and all that other crap.
It just goes on and on . . . and on. But just keep on voting for the same SOBs who support and encourage this sort of crap.
A swift kick in “its” unspecified genitalia is in order.
Wait until you hear about my suit over the Lazy Boy name.
Not only is it sexist, it is speciest. I thought “Lazy Thing” would suffice, but “lazy” is a bit pejorative. Perhaps “Optionally Inactive THing” or “Pro-In-Active Thing”?
I’m thnking a good term for the “thing” in the case cited above might be “S*** For Brains”.
This person needs to pick a team. Neither nature nor the language accommodate gender neutral people.
“They” (or it is more than one LGBT is it “the”) are probably changing English textbooks as we post.
Some people just need to be put out of their misery.
They used to call us “Americans”
And we once thought Ebonics was as low as we could go!
In Spanish objects are assigned masculine or feminine names. The LGBT crowd could have a field day!
