by their proper pronouns. Yall remember this shite next time they put a tax proposal on the budget. Mayor Edwards needs to go after a bit more of their funding.

WBRZ

quote:

BATON ROUGE — A man claimed he was unfairly fired from his job after he refused to use the pronouns that another employee said they used.


quote:

He was fired Thursday after having a conversation with a co-worker about another co-worker. In the conversation he refused to refer to the second co-worker by their proper pronouns.


The fig didnt even hear they/them get mispronouned.

quote:

Logan Wolf, a board member at Forum for Equality, said it's important to respect someone's pronouns and use them.

Why the F is this still being dealt with.

Look, you want me to call you Susan, fine. I will call you a name that you like but the pronoun thing is beyond stupid.

A person should not be allowed to make you use improper Grammer.

Cut their funding since they are discriminating.

the key phrase is “and use them”. See they aren’t happy if you just use their name and avoid pronouns altogether. They want you to use the wrong pronouns. Who’s the fascists again?

He did use the proper pronouns. What he didn't do was allow himself to be bullied into joining in with his co-worker's attempt to lie about the reality of their genitals.

For anyone still confused:

-a human infant born with a penis is a male and is referred to in the English language as "he" and "him"
-a human infant born with a vagina is a female and is referred to in the English language as "she" and "her"
-mangling your genitalia doesn't change this

Things I call acquaintances or coworkers I'm not on friendly terms with.

Whatever they tell me the call them, I don't care and its their life.

Things I call my friends and family

Every derogatory slur, nickname, or curse word in existence that would get me fired from my job.

Good to see WBRZ also is retarded.
Journalism no longer requires proper English.

This is where it gets more ridiculous. So the trans/whatever person didn’t even hear themselves being deadnamed or whatever they call it. A third person ratted this guy out and management chose to fire him.

Why do I feel at least one liberal white woman is involved somewhere in this entire clown show. And yes, us taxpayers are going to pay for the lawsuit. Idiots.

Come on EBR. Why must you pretend you are some liberal city?

You’re the capital of Louisiana. Act like it.

Nah. His name is Steve. I'm not bending the knee to the alphabet gang to accommodate their mental illness.

They live on millage tax and the people vote on it once every 10 or 15 years. Libraries are showing that DEI is not harmless, that the left are not concerned with inclusion or diversity of ideas and that if given the chance leftist institutions will punish those that do not fall into line.

Remember these are the same people who can't say Christmas at Christmas time. They don't care if they are hypocrites it's about power and when they have it, they use it.

EBR will pass the next millage tax as they always do unless a grass roots movement gets organized around election time to shift burbs against it. I'd not hold my breath.

Unfortunately, the answer is to stop using pronouns.
