All of this woke garbage reminds me of a quote by Voltaire...

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

And this is the crux of the whole woke ideology.

Voltaire also said this:

"What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature."

how do you square that circle when it comes to Trump?

Who?

MUTUAL?

MUTUAL

Where is the guy is a dress saying, "Look, these folks don't agree with me, so I'll respect what THEY say!"?

This thread is showing a government workplace implementing guidelines for a welcoming workplace.

I was thinking :why haven't they used a trans person to give this message, just then, the poster child for the trans movement showed up. Like a good token. Like when the news story includes a black guy, they always go to the black guy for comment first.

One day in the future, people will wonder how we came to the point of deciding "non binary" is a great way to live life. You have no idea what sex you are, but the one thing you are sure of is everyone else better know your pronouns. What better example of Clown Word is there?

Mandated tolerance.

He's some guy some people talk about. It's good to know you wouldn't hate on him. Thanks.

Jesus, we agree for once!

Governed speech. If not followed your fired.

Awesome way to start…..over a pronoun for a mentally I’ll person.

Ahem. . .

It's "Sir DB" please.

I have no problem calling you "Sir DB" and would do so even if we met in person if you asked me to use the title and your name.

Seriously.

Thank you, ma'am.

We'll see if others are as altruistic as yourself.

Are you a Lord, as in own property in Scotland or wherever they apply the Sir title? If so, then you are Sir DBCowboy, potentially Knight of the ATS Tetrahedron Table. But then, I have an honorary PhD from Wits for my work on DEWs and rail guns to knock Russian Migs in Angola out of the sky and make it look like pilot error ;-) So I guess I become Dr. Bobs_Uruncle.

Cheers - Dave

My wife and I bought some titles.

Well then, Sir DB! lol

Cheers - Dave

Live and let live. If your colleague is a dude but fancies himself a woman, I don't see a problem in addressing him as a woman. I mean where is harm in that? It's general courtesy to address him by his preferred name and a pronoun. Now, whether that guy is deluded or not is another matter. Gender-related debates fit in online forums, such as this one, nicely but I can understand an employer who doesn't want his employees to engage in pointless bickering. This is not what he's paying them for.

Sure, everyone has a right to have opinions but sometimes expressing them in the work environment disrupts the teamwork and leads to the fights between employees, especially if it gets personal. It's detrimental to the normal flow of work and often demands the intervention of management. Like it was the case with my friend who was regularly picking a fight with her Ukrainian colleagues. She thought her political opinions got the priority over getting down to work. The manager had a different perspective.

There's also this quote:

This practice also creates an inclusive work environment where all applicants and employees are treated with dignity. The isolated and inadvertent use of an incorrect name or pronoun will generally not constitute unlawful harassment, but, as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has explained, continued intentional use of an incorrect name or pronoun (or both) could, in certain circumstances, contribute to an unlawful hostile work environment.

It's clearly stated here that only continuous calling someone by the names or pronouns they don't want will be considered an offense. And I can only think of one name to call someone who regularly and deliberately offends other people. That name is ***hole.

Exactly, they only want to create an environment of welcoming and teamwork, that's what you are there for to work together as a team for specific work goals. Leave your feelz at home.

So if you’re a guy but you feel like a girl then you should leave that at home.
