No. Forcing people to do what you want is bullying.

Forcing people to use preferred pronouns is a form of bullying. Plus getting a vast majority of people connected to this pronoun nonsense makes the rest of us uncomfortable

I was at a meeting where we were all asked to introduce ourselves and give our pronouns. I told them my name, but I didn't say anything about my pronouns. Frankly, it's pretty bloody insulting to be asked. Can't they tell I'm a woman?

I had one of these "respect my pronoun" types in my department. An obvious straight, natural born female who clearly just wanted the attention. Almost everyone on the department collectively decided to "misgender" her by using she/her instead of her preferred they/them. Effectively like a collective intervention to show her normal people don't have time to sanction this kind of bullshit, essentially making it so unequivocally exhausting and tedious she had no choice but to drop the no -binary attention act.

Bullying is actually where you are forced to participate in someone else's delusion without your consent.

I literally cannot stand the sound of the word "Pronoun" anymore

I was born physically disabled , I am fully aware of exactly what bulling is. Not using the proper pronouns for a nonsense description is NOT being bullied. It's tough love.

I remember in Middle School we had a young boy who thought very highly of himself. He was bigger than his peers because he was held back for 2 years. He told people his pronouns were sir, master, and your highness. Back then we called that bullying, but in today's age we have to keep up with the mentally challenged, and delusional people bullying us about their pronouns as well.

These people are the worst kind of bullies. Bullies who believe they’re morally right in bullying everybody around them.

"Here are my preferred pronouns" "fuck right off" is the only proper response

The first time I saw an office titled “Human Resources” instead of “Personnel” or “Employment” I was offended by the idea that I was considered something to be exploited rather than someone who could be negotiated with in order to form a contract that would be mutually beneficial to both parties. Well i had no clue how right was to be offended by this idea until I met the people who controlled these offices.

My pronoun is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I demand you use it every time.

Fun fact: Male Pronouns: He, His, Him, Himself. Female Pronouns: She, Her, Hers, Herself. THAT'S IT!!

I use pronouns that refer to the person's biological sex, and I politely explain this to them. Stick with science, not feelings.

I love her smile which spells out sociopathy and a hidden agenda. How she tries to emulate this sickening fake empathy and that squeky voice fits the scenario perfectly

I remember working with a young women who was non-binary or whatever. I was always nice to her, one of the nicest people to her in that workplace. She got at me one day for not respecting her pronouns 😫 I just said "I don't know about that I got work to do" and walked off lmao. Not getting into an argument over nothing, that job was hard enough

Weird, weird people. They aren't enlightened, they're frigging weird.

I'm done with this pronoun BS. I won't respect a person telling me to call them something they're not.

When someone says "I work in HR." They are actually saying "I am a loser." More or less.

Her voice is the “I know I’m full of shit, but I’m going to talk to you like you’re the idiot...” Got ya sista...

Forcing people to use improper pronouns is not only poor grammar, it’s idiotic and just plain mental. I for one am not walking into the mouth of madness so, feel free to shove off.

Read between lines: she says that even if you disagree, even if you find it untrue, YOU NEED TO COMPLY, meaning, the only valid opinion or interpretation, is the one they choose. How is this not totalitarian?

She’s right. Pronouns are silly and new, so you can’t expect us to try to adjust. Yasss Matt slay Queen! She’s so smart

The hypocrisy when someone says they want to addressed as "they/them", but when they talk they use "I/me" instead of "we/us". If they can't get even their own pronouns straight why should we?

There is and never will be a "HR expert"

No, forcing someone to go along with lies and delusions is bullying.

At my business, if the first thing someone on an interview says is "Hello my name is XXX my pronouns are bs, this bs, that bs" I just finish the interview right there, sorry. I don't want employees spreading toxicity around.

Matt's response from 1.50 - 2.23 is absolutely magnificent, and should be echoed by every sane person on the planet.

Jesus Christ. Work is already depressing and now I got to be bullied into calling some weirdo their pronouns?!?? SCREW THAT!!!

As a straight male, I insist that everyone around me uses the regular pronouns of the English language, otherwise they are misgendering my language use. I don’t want to be triggered by anyone misgengering my personal language use.

That strategy of "I can be offended but you cannot" that these lunatics are using is so dangerous & someday it's gonna backlash on them.

We're surrounded by a bunch of "adults" throwing tantrums and demands like spoiled rotten toddlers

When you are talking to someone, you address them by the pronouns “you and your”. What you say when they aren’t there isn’t their concern.

"Respect my pronouns!" Respect is earned, and each time someone makes unreasonable demands my respect for them decreases.

Forcing me to deny reality is bullying.

The most annoying part of reading a work/school email is seeing the preferred pronouns listed at the bottom.

If a dude wants to be called a she, and it makes you uncomfortable to tell a lie, then what happens? Wouldn't it be bullying for him, and HR, to demand you lie?

Just in case any of you weren’t aware, I just wanted to inform you about what happens to a person when they get offended: absolutely nothing. Nothing happens. They will survive that. Okay? Next problem.

I have a "transgender" coworker. They're actually a guy. But I always call him "you" all the time just so I don't get fired for speaking the truth.

THERE ARE TWO PRONOUNS. HE AND SHE. SORRY, NOT SORRY.

I am an adult, I'm not playing pretend with these messed up people.

"...a pronoun that's not necessarily natural for an individual" That's it, I'm identifying as a toaster

This is like when a psychiatric ward goes off making there own reality and all the patients play along because theres nothing else to do, and the people who stand behind the glass are laughing, putting bets on

This is why pre employment screening is so important. You have to ask the right questions in the interview process to weed out what will become a problem in the future. This nonsense breaks the continuity of the workplace and hurts the end goal of the business.

I suggest everyone bully a snowflake its good for self confidence.

These people say they’re against “bullies” and stuff like that, but in the end are one of the true evils of this world.

I'm Garthanax the LSD Dragon...and YOU BETTER KNOW IT OR ELSE!

So not doing something is bullying. These people are degenerates

HR are simply polite bullies - for any HR to condemn bullying is surreal.

It's nauseating when I'm in meetings with biological women and they feel the need to introduce themselves with, "Hi I'm Heather, and my preferred pronouns are she/her" like yes thank you Captain Obvious.

If i see a man i will call him "he", if i see a woman i will call her "she". Not that difficult. If they don't like it they can tell me, but to assume that everyone needs to ask every single coworker what are their pronouns is insane!!!

I refuse to participate in someone else's delusions.

HR is largely the most useless position/department at any company and the CEO's are starting to catch on. This woke crap is just going to get more of them laid off. Like a moth to the flame...

You cannot ask a person their preferred pronouns but if you misgender them it's potential bullying. Completely insane!

How about they fire these HR's and give workers a wage increase.

That first slide they put up looks like it was put together by a 15 year old 5 minutes before they went on air.

I don’t use pronouns at work. I use names or I just start talking to you.

A bully is a person that threatens you to do something THEY want not the other way around.

Person: what is your preferred pronoun? Other Person: I HAVENT DECIDED YET, GET THIS PERSON FIRED FOR DISCRIMINATION!

What if my preferred pronoun is “asshole”?

I can imagine a roomful of people, each with a unique preferred pronoun, and the speaker/boss/teacher/leader is expected to memorize who's who and what's what .The next step in our dystopia is total confusion. It's the Tower of Babel exponentially manifested.

As of people on the work place aren’t stressed out enough. Now they’ve got the stress of maybe being sacked for calling someone by the wrong pronoun 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm not from United States. It's fucking difficult to explain all this shit to my parent.

Well, good for you, hr expert.” Meanwhile in the real world, no one has “ownership” of pronouns, so no, they’re not “your pronouns.” They’re just words you want people to use when addressing you. You’re free to _want_ that; you are NOT free to _compel_ that speech from anyone else. That’s up to them, not you. You have no dominion over their speech, whether it refers to you or not.

"Don't ask for other ppls pronouns, wait for them to tell you." So they just assume you don't have any? Lunacy.

I totally take this expert seriously. It must have taken months of study, to become an expert on dishing out this kind of arbitrary abuse.

“Nobody is forcing you to do anything, but if you don’t comply you’ll lose your job” is pretty much what they/them are saying. SMH 🤦‍♂️

I'm an "Addams Family-onlyist". The only pronouns I use are He, She, It and Thing!

If I were working at this place, I would go to the HR every day with a new preferred pronoun just to troll them and to get them to admit how ridiculous this whole thing actually is.

The only genderized pronouns are third person so this whole argument about preferred pronouns is silly.

They are doing this in daycares as well. Innocent children ranging from 1 year old to 4 years old. They are teaching them about they/them. This is absolutely disgusting! STOP confusing our children about your sexual preference. They don't need to know anything about it !!!!! Disgusting

Why do these clowns think I CARE?!?!? Do they REALLY think they are so important that I am going to go out of my way to think about what some dude with lipstick and a dress on wants me to call them???? IM GONNA CALL YOU A CLOWN!! Go cry, protest, I could not care less!

i dont care what people think their pronouns are, your male or female, there is no others

Why are we not pointing out that pronouns are used when someone is talking about a person who is usually not around? These ppl are actually trying to dictate how we speak when they are nowhere near us. I have never walked up to a friend or coworker and said, "Hey she, how are things?" If the person is around and someone asks, "Hey, whose cup is this?" I usually would answer with the person's name and not a pronoun. I'm just pointing out that we don't use pronouns when we are directly speaking to a person. Unless, it is "you", which has no gender specifications. Can we all start point this out and finally shut down the madness? Unless, they say that their actual name is Zer/Zim or whatever else they claim, that person will not dictate how I speak when they are not around.

That’s it, I’m going to my HR and telling them that I demand to be address as ‘Your Highness’!

My preferred pronouns are “your majesty” and “your royal highness”. I identify as a member of the royal family 😆

They are always GUILTY of what they blame others for. She’s the bully and anyone pushing this crap against others will.

"The only difference between a [powerless] leftist, and a totalitarian, is opportunity." -Dennis Prager

Last night I was accosted by a woman neighbor for walking on the sidewalk. I was walking by behind her back fence, 8 ft. from the back of her house on the public sidewalk a couple feet outside her fence. It was dark and I like to walk at night and use my walker as well, having previously needed to basically learn to walk again and I strive to regain and to keep my mobility. I walk at night because I don't want my neighbors to worry about me and feel bad for me, I am fine. Especially this last week with a turban sized bandage on my head after surgery I felt a little less like being on display. Turns out I hadn't imagined all the possibilities of how my neighbors might react to me or think of me. I had been sitting enjoying the last of sunset up at the end of the sidewalk a good safe distance from her house. She drove by in her truck while I was there, and then around the corner to the front of her house. Its a very quiet street, nearly a country road really. While walking back home as usual she stopped me and over the fence told she doesn't think I should be sitting there and walking out there, gesturing around toward the roadway. At first I thought she was worried I would get hit by a car or get accosted by criminals. But she started talking about creepy and I realized she saw me as a threat or problem. I said, I am the kindest and most righteousness driven man you'll meet and you are worried about me as a threat? The reason I mention it, aside from it being an experience that as I told her near the end of it, it worked out to be the worst I have ever been treated as an adult, (I am 65 so that's saying something), is that she had that woke feelings crazed imagination fear of talking and truth look on her face, just like we see in these clips and all. Knowing full well everything about it is wrong, but doing it anyway, like any tyrant. Also, people in this comment section mention "forcing people" and I told her she was trying to force me and she denied it and was soon telling me and then yelling over my voice, to just go home. Telling me to go home. Yelling at a senior disabled guy over the fence to go home. Told me if I don't go home, she would go to our house and get my son to drag me into the house. Like encountering an alien life form really. Persecute the old disabled guy because you think he feels creepy with a bandage on his head? Tell a free man who is harmless and obviously so, what to do - and demand it? and not know it's force and unrighteous force? I am still trying to imagine how she got like that but I am working on it a little at a time because thinking about it too much is actually too much. I will be walking by her fence again in a few minutes. Maybe later I will find out how they define sociopath. A harm to society. Breaking people's peace and sovereignty because you feel uncomfortable and can't control it. A walking talking pathology.

I like to be called whatever is on my paycheck....

I call everyone a C U Next Tuesday, and that works just fine.

"This could rise to the level of bullying" No it wouldn't. Using English properly is not bullying. You can't just decide you want something and define not giving it to you as "bullying" to guilt others into behaving the way you want. That is what narcissists do to manipulate their victims. These people are pure evil.

In My opinion this has been the biggest problem in the youth so far.

*"I DEMAND you love me!!!* ...what could possibly go wrong? 🤣

I'm not a fan of this trend of expanding the definition of "bullying" to include any and all behavior that might be considered less than polite. To me, bullying involves violence or at least an implied threat of violence. There's an immense difference between someone saying something that hurts your feelings and outright assault. Despite what the Left says, words are not violence.

First off lets be real. No HR “Expert” would qualify misuse of pronouns as a violation. Lets be clear, this individual is an activist and a loon

If someone keeps telling me to call them a unicorn and they’re not I won’t do it.

Forcing everyone to comply with your delusions IS bullying in and of itself. I will not comply.

They demand we respect their side while telling us if we don't like it than it's somehow a crime. Who's bullying who here. Use our made up pronouns or else you're wrong! Wow.

Not only do they consider it bullying, but it’s also a form of “sexual harassment and discrimination” Jeez…

I work for a big, relatively famous company. The company policy is: not only to use preferred pronouns but also report colleagues for any kind of "offense" (e.g. asking someone where they come from, god forbid use wrong pronoun), even during their private time. Stasi says hello. The personal consequence for me is to be extremely wary of my colleagues and avoid contact, especially with LGBTQ+- and POC people, as much as possible because otherwise i would constantly run into danger of unintentionally offending someone. I wish i could say anything but it would get instantly fired if i don't comply. Great policies, will certainly help productivity.

Number 4. "Old habits die hard, but insanity is possible."

Does “IT” fall into the preferred pronoun list?

As a person who has the ability to hire and fire employees, that would be a deal breaker. If a candidate wants to use a strange pronoun, no job for you. And if one slips through the cracks and does get hired, a quick reduction of force is in order. This goes for a lot of other personality traits, so it isn't just pronouns. A crew works better as a team and a member that wants to disrupt the team is not a good employee.

I am being patient and waiting for everyone to use my preferred pronoun which is 'Master'.

Forcing another to participate in a personal delusion... is a real disorder that requires intervention.

The sad thing is, this man and very few are the only ones brave enough to say it :/

This projecting of one’s personal comfort as being the responsibility of someone other than one’s self flies in the face of personal growth, a healthy mindset and personal responsibility. It’s sad and unfortunate for these individuals who are conflicted within themselves as per their uncertain and ever changing identity.

“hr expert” sounds like something i’d throw my shoes away if i stepped on

So glad I drive a truck and don't have to navigate this ridiculous minefield, not that I would navigate it anyhow but by God I wouldn't last in corporate America without going nuts
