Florida's 'Reverse Woke Act' Aims to Hold Leftist Execs 'Accountable' for the Consequences of Their Policies

It’s the gender transition version of “you break it, you bought it.”

Florida Republicans and Gov. Ron DeSantis have made a national name for themselves by standing up to progressive incursions into American life — from critical race theory and sexual dysfunction in schools to Big Tech’s unauthorized surveillance.

Now, under a bill introduced for the upcoming legislative session, the state would be going on offense on one front in the cultural wars, taking the fight directly to companies’ bottom lines.

The “Reverse Woke Act” (SB 952) was introduced Monday by state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, aiming at making companies that buy into the woke agenda now realize they might be paying for it later.

The idea is that companies that cover the costs of employees to complete a “gender transition” must also cover the costs of the employees who decide to stop living a lie and “detransition” back to the life they were born to live.

And that would apply even if the employee is no longer with the company.

What kind of nutjob companies are already willingly paying for the these mentally ill people to change their genders? What’s in it for the companies that are doing this now? Street cred from the woke mob?

DeSantis is showing the rest of us not to let woke subversion progress without consequences. His approach is that if you put your mind to this woke stupidity there are options to fight back. The woke crowd thinks it’s just fine to have companies pay for employee transition, but they never thought there would be follow-on financial consequences for their stupidity. Now, with the ‘You break it, you fix it’ law, the woke suddenly gets a reverse dose of their own stupidity. If you go woke as a company, now you just may go broke.
