Maybe he, or his friends, were parroting Jordan Peterson's fearmongering that people could get fired for mistakenly using the incorrect pronoun, because of SJWs and political correctness being taken too far. What Peterson followers don't realize is that Peterson's criticism of the Canadian law was that it used Ontario provincial law wording ... a provincial law Peterson had been living and working under for years. It wasn't the only province that had such a law either. Yet, Peterson had zero examples of anyone actually being fired for mistakenly using the wrong pronoun, in any of those provinces, over all the years the laws were in effect.

@douglaskalberg8899 Fearmongering about a civil war is a bit different. That can encourage people to make "pre-emptive" attacks on minorities.

@GamePurist No. That Virginia teacher was fired for outright refusing to say something, not for accidentally saying something. All kinds of employers have had all kinds of language and behaviour rules for work, for centuries. Outright defying your employer's policies is grounds for firing just about anywhere.

@GamePurist Nope, that's after repeatedly regusing to an alternate pronoun, based on a religious belief in a formless penisless entity that is referred to as "he", "father", etc.
