I'm serious when I say this as someone who works in HR:

If you are reported, you are screwed.

While your response was logical and polite, you are now living in Progressive Clown World.

You will likely be written up and have to attend sensitivity training. In an extreme case you may be fired, just depends on how "progressive" the HR rep is that is assigned to the report.

I make it a point to call them what they very obviously are biologically.
Zero fricks given.

very obviously oppressed this person by misusing pronouns and therefore created a hostile work environment. Should I start updating my resume and LinkedIn?


The other day, you were on the verge of committing suicide. Now you’re being arrogant

I’ve accidentally gotten someone’s gender wrong over the phone if it’s a male with a high voice or a female with a deep voice. And yeah, that’s embarrassing, but still not a huge deal. But now, these freak show SJWs that want to whine about “misgendering”, screw that! There’s no such thing. Just because you’re mentally ill, I’m not buying a ticket on the crazy train with you.

Say, does anybody have any idea why this foolishness suddenly caught fire over the past 3-4 years?

A dude strolled out of a stall in denim capris with makeup and I questioned myself that I may have walked into the women’s bathroom in the E terminal at Bush International earlier today by mistake.

Nope, just a dude with a mental illness.

Thankfully I do not work in a corporate environment.

Would it be in bad taste if you had just said:
"Thanks a lot, a-hole"?
