The reality of working with trans people will mean you slip up and use the wrong pronouns sometimes. These laws are going to add fear to speaking to trans people let alone hiring them. And what if they’re abused?
I like the intent but I think these will be counter-productive to helping the trans community.
The key word in the guidance is “persistently” misgendering. So if someone gets the pronouns right 95% of the time, that’s hardly “persistent”. These guidelines target employers/people who willfully and purposefully mis gender/discriminate. If you’re trying to claim these rules make you afraid to talk to trans people, you might want to take a long hard look at your own biases/phobias.
Ya I totally hated that one time I got fired from my CEO job because Google autocorrected she to he one time. 😂
Is it really that fucking hard to remember a pronoun? Especially when someone devoted time and energy and specifically asked to be referred to a specific way? Sounds like a you problem.
these laws are going to make certain social media users obsess about what could go wrong with these rules despite the fact such rules often aren’t well enforced to begin with. Just gonna say, often you have to be really going out of your way being an asshole to get hit by this kind of stuff.
