It’s part of the monthly “Inclusive Actions” initiative where the agency spends each month working to adapt new ways to be inclusive.

"Inclusive" of everyone except the sane.

[alternatives?]

Go in, do your job but say as little as possible, get your paycheck, go home.

[gitmo]

This is what we call “Dumb gone to seed”.

[MDLION]

ze/zir/zirs is so ztupid!
(No, spellcheck, I meant to write ztupid.)

[Glad2bnuts]

Point your finger and say HEY, yeah YOU. It is what I do.

[dfwgator]

“Hey you, with the face!”

[Glad2bnuts]

Yeah, like in the Army, your name tag was what you were called. HEY SEATTLE? or is it underscore Seattle? I escaped to Lewis county, and the crazies followed me. Next step to a self owned gun range in Arizon. FOLLOW ME NOW, -itches.

[Brian Griffin]

I’m entitled to ride free since I’m a small kid, right?

[Brian Griffin]

“ze”

Sie

Please get it right.

Danke.

[KittyKares]

I’m so glad I’m retired and don’t have to deal with this nonsense.

[Nervous Tick]

Go in, do your job but say as little as possible, get your paycheck, go home.

FIFY

From the article: ...An employee who intentionally refuses to use another person’s preferred pronouns may be subject to potential discipline...

Best of luck to Pierce Transit when someone informs them that his or her "preferred pronoun" is the N-word.

[teeman8r]

you vil follow ze rules, and ze rules shall be followed or you vil be keeled.

[Ge0ffrey]

Is there a first Amendment or no?

[struggle]

Yeah, but they/them can get you in trouble.

“I know them, and they are always messing with banks and supporting pedophiles. We need to get rid of them before they damage society.”

[aquila48]

“How much more of this insanity must we endure?”

As much as we quietly and meekly put up with!

And apparently we have no limit of that.

I have a close friend who is a pharmacist. At his latest annual board exam, he had to memorize all the 100 + new pronouns in order to pass his exam........

[rivercat]

ze, zir, and zirs are stupid made up words. I don’t even know how to pronounce them, let alone how to use them in a sentence. I have better things to do then stop in the middle of a sentence to a coworker to figure out how to address them using these fake words.

[rivercat]

At this rate, you’ll have to embroider your pronouns on the back of your helmet band and also velcro your pronoun patch to the front of your uniform.
I wonder if they’ll give out ribbons with pronouns on them?

[Revolutionary]

Just use “bitch”. It’s the universal pronoun.
