Calculating that capitulation to the movement is less painful than dealing with a very loud, implacable minority of workers who insist that their companies \u2013 and the world \u2013 be remade in their gender-fluid image.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But where does that leave Corporate America\u2019s employees who hold traditional, biblical, or simply common-sense, thousands-of-years-old views on sexuality?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well, as it turns out, for employees of Fortune 500 companies, it\u2019s becoming obvious that trying to remain silent on these issues will not be enough for the radical gender theory ideologues, who\u2019ve seized company HR departments via Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Increasingly, it seems, corporate DEI czars are demanding fealty to radical gender theory. How? By pressuring employees to announce their personal gender pronouns.\u00a0Now for those of you who don\u2019t work in a Fortune 500 corporate setting or have yet to watch \u201cWhat is a Woman?\u201d by Matt Walsh (<a href=\"http:\/\/whatisawoman.com\">subscribe to watch here<\/a>), let me quickly explain the logic \u2013 er, illogic \u2013 behind declaring one\u2019s preferred gender pronouns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Radical gender theory argues that biological sex and gender expression are distinct things that need not align. Personal gender pronouns embrace this logic by affirming the idea that gender is simply a cultural construct, akin to a costume one puts on or takes off at will.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A biological man, therefore, might choose to identify as female and go by the gender pronouns \u201cshe\/her.\u201d Conversely, a biological woman could identify as male and go by the pronouns \u201che\/him.\u201d After all, that\u2019s the gender construct\/costume they\u2019ve decided to wear. That\u2019s \u201ctheir truth,\u201d as the post-modernists like to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It only becomes more confusing from here. Apparently, there are all kinds of personal pronouns that one employee might demand another employee to use \u2013 like \u201cthey\/them\u201d for someone who identifies as \u201cnon-binary,\u201d or neither female nor male. And don\u2019t even get me started on \u201cze\/zir,\u201d another made-up set of pronouns for \u201cnon-binary\u201d people \u2013 and there are dozens more.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Now, imagine trying to remember everyone\u2019s various personal gender pronouns in your next brainstorm session. Even if one wanted to give all this the college try, if they were to misuse another employee\u2019s pronouns, well, they may very well be accused of \u201cmisgendering\u201d someone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s exhausting just thinking about it. Thankfully, I\u2019m closer to retirement than not.<\/p>\n<p>Still, despite the ridiculous nature of all this, corporations are embracing the use of personal gender pronouns without even considering another factor: the social pressure it might place on employees who \u2013 due to religious convictions or any other sensible reason \u2013 might object to announcing their own personal gender pronouns.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, companies have rationalized the adoption of personal gender pronouns under the guise of keeping people \u201cemotionally safe.\u201d The idea being that employees may feel harmed if another employee fails to embrace their gender identity fantasy by failing to use that person\u2019s preferred pronouns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For example, if a biological woman named Susie says she\u2019s actually a \u201che,\u201d then pronoun hospitality would suggest that to refuse to call Suzie a \u201che\u201d could make Suzie feel emotionally \u201cunsafe.\u201d Yet, even if an employee agreed to call Suzie a \u201che,\u201d that\u2019s still not going far enough. Everyone must also announce their own personal pronouns as well so that Suzie doesn\u2019t feel odd about the fact that she announces hers, er, his.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Getting a migraine yet? I\u2019ve found that two Excedrin and a cup of coffee works well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, the corporate pressure to use gender pronouns usually starts with a talk about the importance of adopting them, followed by constant reminders \u2013 via DEI workshops, online tutorials, and emails from HR. Employees are often encouraged to put their personal pronouns in their email signatures and on name tags and to announce them when they\u2019re introducing themselves in meetings. Email signatures today often come with hyperlinks, like the real-life example below, that say things like, <a href=\"https:\/\/pronouns.org\/what-and-why\">\u201cwhat\u2019s this?\u201d<\/a> next to the sender\u2019s preferred gender pronouns. Click on one of these links and it takes you to sites like pronouns.org, which inform the reader that the only decent thing for them to do is to adopt personal pronouns themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The implicit message? Empathetic and caring employees use personal gender pronouns; inconsiderate and harmful ones do not. So please use the pronouns others tell you to use, and be sure to also announce your pronouns in the next meeting \u2013 and, yes, even if no one is confused about your gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, companies subtly coerce employees to follow suit by using emotionally manipulative arguments which claim that it might be harmful to other employees if they don\u2019t get onboard the personal gender pronoun train \u2013 even if it violates their conscience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If all the prodding to adopt personal gender pronouns fails and some employees still haven\u2019t embraced<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corporations to employees: Use gender pronouns or else.
