Yeah. She didn’t make fun of them. She asked what they meant because she didn’t know. No insult at all.

60 year volunteer with a husband that died of MS. It was her life’s passion.

Did MSN verify the 90 year olds preferred pronouns?

Reading that pisses me off. Decent people would never do this. Whoever it was that made this decision is a piece of shite.

Big time blowback already

I imagine most of those volunteers are and have been mostly older women & you do this to a 90 year old over some virtue signaling pronouns?

I think someone already resigned and they turned off comments on their twitter posts

Although this still does what DEI is intended to do by infecting & destroying long standing companies here in the US

Elle Hamilton, Itkoff's daughter, said: 'To me it's ironic, because they are saying they are inclusive, but they are excluding a 90-year-old disabled woman who has volunteered for 60 years.'


Yes please create more people that won’t vote for you.

The National MS Society has defended firing a 90-year-old volunteer for breaching its diversity and inclusion policy after she asked what pronouns were.

Fran Itkoff had served the non-profit for multiple sclerosis patients for 60 years, with her late husband running the Long Beach Lakewood chapter prior to his death.

She was left stunned when her bosses forced her to step down on January 19 following an exchange with a colleague who asked her to use her pronouns in an email signatures.
