State Department Offers Counseling To Misgendered Employees Triggered By Email Pronoun Debacle

'I deeply regret the confusion and distress this mistake caused our workforce'

The State Department will offer counseling to any employee "who feels hurt or upset" by a system-wide email glitch that temporarily assigned random and often incorrect gender pronouns to staff.

The State Department is offering free therapy to "any employee who feels hurt or upset as a result of this unfortunate mistake," according to an internal email that went out to employees on Friday. Many State Department employees were "triggered" on Thursday, when emails from colleagues suddenly began to include random pronouns, like, "She/her/hers" and "He/Him/His" in the "from" line.

The pronouns were randomly assigned, with men being given female pronouns and vice versa, due to a "pronoun glitch" in the department’s system, the Washington Free Beacon first reported.

If you need counseling over being “misgendered,” you’re too mentally fragile to handle the diplomatic interests of the United States. Get another job.

And this is the staff that presumably handles affairs of risk originating with China, North Korea, Iran and Russia.

May Heaven Help us every one.

THey obviously need to get their hands off their genetalia and get to work.

After Trump is elected, he needs to purge the idiots.

Were I king, guarantee this crap would end in a nano second.
This pronoun crap is an extension of the queer movement. Should never have gotten a foothold, now it is at the level of a political party.

Tyranny hiding behind “counseling schemes” for the “hurt”.

State Department officials continue to give aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

I watched a video last night of a military vet having a total mental breakdown, I assume primarily because of PTSD and then compounded by the VA giving him a hassle about counseling. But at least the state department employees are being taken care of.

Interesting use of our tax money to support grooming tyrants.

I mean, why didn’t I have hot female prostitutes teach us civilizationing sex when a kid but nowadays kids’ access to sp”civilization” only goes through these freaks instead?

I find the whole maneuver extremely cynical and schizophrenic-puritanical, in fact.

Looks like our Government overlords are trying their hand at some social engineering.

This time it may have failed, but they will keep trying.

Coming to Outlook soon, I bet!

This sounds like something that would be in the Bee. I’ve seen Wokesters put pronouns in their signature blocks, but I’ve never seen them in a “To” or “From”.

LOL....I’m “misgendered” all the time on FR, because my screen name is ambiguous, I ride a harley, play the bass, and genuinely enjoy adventures like sailing, hiking, shooting, and flying.

For the record, I’m a gal.

A girly, womany, female, feminine DAME.

Remember, WE are the (neo) Marxists now. Globalist, utopian, empire-building, collectivist

The world is realizing it needs a new “containment” policy - this time against our government.

Working for he U.S. State Department is considered by many to be the same type of profession as hairdresser, interior decorator, journalist, etc.

We thank the state dept for revealing another place where the budget could be cut in half.
