Massachusetts' first openly non-binary elected politician has taken a month off work with for the sake of their mental health after being accused of laziness and asked to return to in-person meetings.
Thu Nguyen, who uses they/them pronouns, accused some of their fellow Worcester City Council members of deliberately misgendering them and referring to them as 'it'.
They claimed to have been misgendered by Mayor Joe Petty and Councilor At-Large Kathleen Toomey. Nguyen also alleges they were referred to as 'it' on multiple occasions by Councilor Candy Mero-Carlson.
'These hateful acts are unbecoming of a legislative body whose duty is to serve our communities and to honor and enforce anti-discrimination laws,' Nguyen wrote, announcing a 'hiatus'.
However, Mayor Petty countered Nguyen's claims by suggesting that they, 'arose from the decision to mandate in-person attendance for City Council and subcommittee meetings', the Boston Globe reports.
'Failing to participate in these essential responsibilities is unacceptable,' Petty said. 'I will not apologize for holding myself and my colleagues accountable to the responsibilities entrusted to us by the people we serve.'
Nguyen hit back by stating that their low and remote attendance of sessions was due to the 'transphobia' they had experienced from colleagues.
Petty said Nguyen was referring to an incident in 2022 where he accidentally misgendered them during a meeting but insisted he had apologized.
Councilor Toomey admitted to misgendering Nguyen, but insisted it was accidental.
'Early on when the Councilor was elected, I did make an honest error in addressing the councilor and may have done so a few times, for which I apologized. There has never been any intentional or consistent misgendering,' Toomey said.

I wonder what sticks and stones would do to it.
Good.
Now the council can do it’s business without all the drama from the drama queen...............
Do we know if this thing has a hoo ha or a pecker?
What the hell is the matter with anybody who would go to The Ballot Box and vote for this thing?
“They/them”? This person contains multitudes. The destruction of the English language continues apace...
No one is “non-binary.” Binary refers to a system in which there are only two possible values. It’s not up to an individual to choose.
There are only two possible values for one’s sex: male OR female. Everyone takes part in this system and there are no exceptions.
PS. If someone really has no sex, then that person is an “it.”
How about a big fat " NO" !
now take yourself 100 yards west of here and gfy. When you are finished, go another 100 yards west and GFY again. Repeat until your feet get wet and keep gfy, until the water is over your head, continue gfy under water until all your problems are gone.
yay, you did it!!
Also they/them refers to multiple people.
Does it have multiple personalities as well?
I wonder if it’s nickname is “Legion”
In God’s name don’t torture me!”
For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”
Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied,
It’s a chick pretending to be a dude who has to yet to outgrow middle school immaturity.
Someone of her mental instability should never have been voted into any office.
I hope they get rid of her.
Hiring someone with obvious mental problems has predictable results.
Non-binary is such a warm and fuzzy term. How about “deviant
creature with hermaphrodite aspirations.
I wonder how that would play out in Vietnam.
“She added that Nguyen has the ‘lowest attendance record of any City Councilor’ and accused them of attempting to weaponize their allegations for political purposes.”
Why do media outlets continue to force this charade on us?
If you want to call a singular human “them” or “their”, at least use scare quotes so as to not confuse the sane readers.
This has to be a massive psyop by our enemies within.
Community organizer, huh?
I'm afraid we all know too much about that claimed occupation.
Rule One: No Poofters!
“Their”?
What is it with these idiot writers ruching to embrace delusion?
HIM, HIM, HIM HIM!!!!!!!!!!! Butchering the language has never changed a single chromosome.
People looking for offense will find it.
You’re talking about demonrats. They’re so evil their guilt has made them insane.
