I am getting a new coworker that I will likely need to work closely with, and it’s a “they/them”. Haven’t seen this person or a picture yet, so not sure if it’s a female or male at this point.
What are some tips for dealing with this? Should I just completely ignore the issue and make on as if it isn’t “a thing”, just avoiding the use of pronouns? I want to keep my job, but I don’t want to betray reality and my principles.
One of those two things is happening. Might as well decide now, before the choice is taken from you.
For my part, I'd rather go job hunting than associate with freaks.
It’s a good gig… I ain’t gonna let no mental case take it away from me. That’s giving power to these idiots.
You are mistaken to believe that there is a middle ground. The freaks crave nothing more than submission. Their very presence is a sickness.
You'll be confronted eventually, and either you will have to submit or you'll be hauled in front of HR and fired.
If that happens, it will be a dramatic negative towards your chances of another job.
I have a high paying cushy job… is the solution then to just allow all these gender freaks to take over all the good jobs and cower off into the sunset? I’d like to know what your long-term solution is to this madness.
It might be worthwhile to have a talk with HR and clearly explain that as a Christian (or whatever sincere religion) you are expected to tell the truth and be a good person. That means not lying about someone's sex/gender, even if they want you to.
