If we were coworkers and I continually referred to you as ma'am, you'd have no issue with it?
I'm not a maam though. This person wasn't their "preferred gender" either.

Oh sorry, comply or be fired for not playing stupid words games. Not forced at all.
He was under probation period, so the deck is stacked against him in that they don't really need a reason to let him go. It's usually a good idea to not be a dickhead and rock the boat during probation period.

Not sure what a biological pronoun is, but you'd never catch me referring to someone as they/them (for no other reason than it being a bastardization of the English language).
Having said that, I'd just stick with referring to the aggrieved by their gov't name rather than die on a pronoun hill.

No he won't. LA is at will, and you can be tossed for basically anything during probationary period regardless.

Not tolerating mentally ill coworkers doesn't make you a dickhead.

The probation period is probably pretty irrelevant here

How is a preferred term "fantasy land"?
Hmmm…

Fantasy - noun 1. the faculty or activity of imagining things, especially things that are impossible or improbable.
If your name is Bob, but you go by Chris, you are living out the fantasy of your name being Chris
Great example dipshit
Stop being a fig. This trans bullshite needs to stop. It’s gone too far for too long. Normal people are sick of this shite

Professional like not expecting anyone else to cater to your gender fantasies?

Why isn't this ever applied to the people using inaccurate pronouns?
It's completely professional to to ask coworkers to suspend reality at work to avoid hurting a sensitive individual's feelings

what’s your point?

This wasn’t Chili’s he was fired from; it was the library system which is a government funded, government run entity. As such, the supervisor that fired him is a state actor which sets off all kind of constititional issues when dealing with speech.

Why is all of your attention focused on one side of this?
Why aren’t your comments directed towards the person who is trying to get people to call them something in which they are clearly not?
It’s insane to me that people like yourself are willing to bend themselves into a pretzel defending this kind of derangement. It’s absolutely nuts

Progressives are all mentally ill together.

Lol it happened in the aftermath of the misgendering saga so they’ll have a hell of a time arguing against pretext given the temporal proximity

Yeah, the government doesn’t get a hall pass to infringe upon constitutional rights just because someone is under a probationary period at their government job.

How many people have received discipline or been fired for "misgendering?" If the answer isn't zero, you are literally wrong.
