New Bill Stops Forced Preferred Pronouns for State Employees (FL)
The Floridian ^ | November 27th 2023 | Jim McCool

With the Culture War still fuming in Florida, more battles waged by Republicans against what they call "gender ideology" are being fought. A new bill in the Florida Legislature will prevent employees from having to refer to their colleagues by their preferred gender pronouns.

The legislation would specifically apply to state and local government agencies, as well as non-profits and contractors from forcing their employees to use preferred pronouns for their gender non-conforming, or transgender colleagues. Employers would also not be allowed to punish these employees who refuse to conform to their colleagues.

The issue has resided in a grey area for some time, as plenty of private organizations already do not punish their employees for not using their co-worker's preferred pronouns.

The bill would also stop employees employed by the government and contractors from giving their employers preferred pronouns that "do not correspond to his or her sex" and would prevent employers from asking workers to provide personal pronouns.

Notice this pronoun mumbo jumbo started the moment the Derek Chauvin footage went viral. I don’t recall it being a thing until that time.

That the courts would support this pronoun cr** makes no sense at all.

These aren’t “preferred” pronouns, they’re Weimar Pronouns.

The 14th Amendment is positively magical

It means whatever a Leftist judge wants it to mean

All a judge has to do is spout the words “Equal Justice Under the Law” and they can impose any injustice they want.

Yesterday I went to an REI store in Central FL.
The male cashier had on a button that said my pronouns are they/them/theirs. The sickness is rampant.

I would have a word for the forced pronouns, but I cannot post it here because it is very vulgar.

Title VII civil rights act already prohibits employers from discriminating based on religion.

If you are faced with a corporate policy that requires the use of someone’s preferred pronouns, you can elect to contact your legal department via email and ask if the policy is an official policy. Express your concern as the company’s policy creates a “hostile work environment” as it forces employees to participate in a LIE. Thus violating their deeply held beliefs that lying is a sin and appears to be a violation of Title VII. Many religions have scriptures that prohibit lying.

I find that in many cases, these pronoun mandates come from HR and have not be vetted or approved by legal.

“The male cashier had on a button that said my pronouns are they/them/theirs.”

Me: So how are they today?

Cashier: Fine thank you for asking.

Me: I wasn’t talking to you, you egotistical twat.
