Just got a text from my buddy that we cant chill tonight cuz hes working a double because he had to send an employee home because he refused to use a non-binary employees they/them pronouns and threw a big hissy fit over it.

What the fuck is the point of acting like that? What do you gain by being a dick about personal pronouns? Its one thing to accidentally fuck up, but its just dumb as shit to actively use the wrong pronouns.

Like imagine being some $13/hr part timer and being a big enough dick to get sent home on the one day a week where you make a living wage (thanks to time and a half Sundays). How fucking pathetic can that guy get?

Good way to weed out problem workers. Anyone dumb enough to make a scene over that at work can't handle working with others

Skip to 3 minutes 8 seconds for the relevant part, but the whole thing is worth listening to.

To be fair, kowtowing to someone like this is necessary lest they try to escalate to suing the store for discrimination.

Now the fact I do suspect a lot of people do this in ORDER to escalate to that level is another matter.

Well he used it to refer to multiple people. I think the issue he has is referring to a single person as they in the third person when the person is being addressed in the first.

I know if someone was that anal about personal pronouns i'd prefer just not talk to them unless it's work related and I have to. It's definitely weird talking about someone in 3rd person in a singular pronoun situation

It would be like a guy named John James the Third requesting to be called by the full name.

Like fuck off with that nonsense. You're just getting called John.

Yes. Normally people only say they/them when referring to multiple people, it would just serve to probably confuse whoever you're talking to but everyone has to have their thing nowadays

Ehh, I respect coworkers and I use whatever pronoun people want. But I dont like that entitled attitude you are pushing. Youre saying no one has given you a good reason (whatever that means) for not respecting people, but no one actually owes you or anyone else that. You cant just demand respect. Well, I guess you can, if you force it through government intervention like in Canada.

Do you know what third person means? And this all happened because of a conversation about the non binary person, they thankfully werent present for it. My buddy corrected the dude who was being a dick, and he said that he would never use the correct pronouns and blah blah blah so my buddy told him that he has to if he wants to work. So he threw a hissy fit and got sent home.

Is that the person you want to be?

Expecting coworkers to use your proper pronouns is not being entitled. Entitlement would be thinking that you can call your coworkers whatever you want without repercussions.
