Suncorp Group announced last month that workers would have the opportunity to get paid leave to pursue gender transitions.
The company, which is involved in insurance and banking in Australia and New Zealand, is offering six weeks of paid leave and 12 months of unpaid leave for people to "affirm their gender," an Orwellian phrase that actually entails the exact opposite of affirming an individual's immutable biological sex.
Suncorp notes that the transition process can include actions ranging from hormones, surgery, and recovery, to simply informing others about the gender switch and changing clothing style and pronouns.
"Six weeks' paid Gender Affirmation Leave, and up to 12 months unpaid leave, will be offered to applicable Suncorp employees, allowing those employees to have the time and financial support required to engage in the steps they need to affirm their gender," a press release states.
"The new Gender Affirmation Leave entitlement offers employees the opportunity to utilise the leave flexibly, which Vera says is important given her ongoing appointments, which often have a significant wait-time," the company wrote, referring to employee Vera Dawson. "She mentions that some of the appointments she needs to attend are extremely difficult for a person working full-time, but the new leave entitlement offers a new kind of tailored support that would enable her, and others seeking the leave, the financial freedom to meet those ongoing needs."
The company's announcement reflects the extent to which big businesses around the globe openly support the reality-defying, gender-bending dogmas of left-wing gender ideology.
Anheuser-Busch recently faced backlash for enlisting Dylan Mulvaney, a man who identifies as a transgender woman, to advertise Bud Light, while Nike angered consumers by having Mulvaney advertise a bra and leggings.
Suncorp describes itself as "a sustainable and responsible financial services Group" that offers "insurance and banking products and services through some of Australia and New Zealand’s most recognised financial brands."
Every put forth by western governments is to destroy their own native citizens.
Ok, my gender is male, I would like 6 weeks paid leave to drink beer, go camping, shoot off some guns and do other activities that affirm my gender.
Absurd. Every man should say they need six weeks to go and affirm their masculinity and take a vacation.
Yup. There you go - turn it back on them! :-)
As bad a we are in this country about these weird cultural changes, Australia and New Zealand have really gone off the rails.
Real men affirm their gender every day bu showing up for work, providing for their families and being productive members of society. Anachronistic thinking, I know.
That’s discrimination against people who maintain their biological gender.
Heck, I’m female but I’d take off 6 weeks to go camping hiking and fishing.
‘Course, I might decide to come back as female…after a 6 week exploration.
I can ‘affirm’ my gender and 10 seconds, and prove it:
1. Clink-Clink
2. Snap
3. Zip down
4. Whip
5. Zip up
6. Clink-Clink
Not sure why some people need 6 weeks to do the same.
How many transitions in a lifetime is one allowed?
May I ‘affirm my gender’ every Friday around noon? That should work out just fine. Thanks!
Costs passed on to the consumers, of course.
Anyone who objects will be called “homophobic,” etc., and can expect to have their lives destroyed.
And, i guarantee that this is only to increase their ESG score.
boycott these companies. Do no business with them. Have nothing to do with any of their employees. Anathema.
What is Crocodile Dundee’s position on this???
Great way to get the loons out of the office for a while.
Bass turds throwing money around like a bunch of drunken pirates!
How much would you pay as part of a collective pool to know how mentally ill one of your coworkers is instead of having them keep it in the closet?
One other thing with the company offering this is that it increases the number of employees who will neuter themselves, saving the company money in healthcare costs for dependents.
