Government employees are being forced to embrace the trans agenda as part of their jobs
If your boss required you to publicly announce that 2 + 2 = 5 and act like you sincerely believed it, would you comply or be fired? Unfortunately, tens of thousands federal employees are being put to a similar test by the Biden administration. But instead of being required to deny basic math, they are being forced to deny basic biology under radical “gender identity” policies.
On International Transgender Day of Visibility, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management ordered federal agencies to prohibit the intentional use of “incorrect” pronouns in the workplace because it could contribute to an “unlawful hostile work environment.” First to comply were the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of State, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP), all of which have recently issued workplace pronoun mandates.
Not surprisingly, the administration’s LGBT advocate-in-chief, Assistant Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine, announced the policy for HHS. Although Levine is a biological male (and for decades went by Richard), HHS employees are prohibited from using anything other than “she” when speaking of Levine and all other trans-identifying biological males at HHS.
Further, because the policy covers “gender non-conforming, agender, “gender fluid” or “non-binary” identifications, biologically male employees can retain male names and dress and appear like a man on any given day, and still demand to be addressed as she, xir, or they.
Not to be outdone, the USCBP issued a memo for Border Patrol agents prohibiting them from addressing persons they catch illegally crossing the border as “Mr., Mrs., Ms., Sir [or] Ma’am” until they ask, “can you please confirm your pronouns or gender identity?” and then adopting whatever the immigrant says.
To drive the point home, the memo states agents may not offer “personal opinions” on these matters or “refer to being LGBTQI+ as a ‘choice’ or ‘lifestyle.’” But shutting up about one’s beliefs, as bad as that is, is not actually an option because pronoun use is part of life and practically unavoidable. There will be no hiding or laying low on this one, everyone will be found out eventually.
