One of my coworkers had to do a trouble ticket for someone here the other day. She took a call from someone who clearly had a man's voice on the phone. My coworker is a very friendly and helpful person. This was the response she got in the ticket: I would like to bring to your attention line 2 of your report as attached. My name is Constance and I identify as female and yet you use the male pronoun HE to start the second sentence. I would appreciate if in the future we have business you make an effort to be correct in your usage of pronouns and try to make sure they match the name of the person you are referring to. There are trainings available from HR if you need to understand this more clearly. Constance SHE/HER/HERS

I'm lucky I didn't take the ticket because I probably would have gotten fired.

I'd have replied "Well, you sound like a dude on the phone".

One of the biggest ironies with this is that my coworker is a black female. She's probably not used to being accused of being socially insensitive. I guess the sexual preference nut jobs outrank all victims now.

So, fa g g ot doesn't work anymore?
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Just don't use any pronoun. Call them by their given name, followed by "who identifies as a _______". I won't play along with mental illness. just not happening. I will take my last "Civil Rights Awareness" training in June. don't know if I will pass this one, not playing along with the Brave New World. TOFTG (too old for this GARBAGE!!)

I'm not going to play the pronoun games but I don't want to get fired either. I'm just going to call them "the client", "the customer", "the person", or in this case, "the piece of schit".

You would think from the attention they get from the Dem politicians, the trans folks make up 40% of the population...….what are we talking about, 0.5%? You wouldn't think that would be the demographic you would focus on winning, but whatever....

Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

Depends on where you live. There's plenty of victim class nut jobs here unfortunately.
