The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services imposed a transgender pronoun mandate on its employees this week with new guidance that instructs employees to affirm any co-worker’s self-proclaimed gender identity and preferred pronouns.
“All employees should be addressed [by] the names and pronouns they use to describe themselves,” an HHS email sent to employees and shared with CNA read. The mandate is part of the department’s new Gender Identity and Non-Discrimination Guidance, which was established to outline “employee rights and protections related to gender identity,” according to the email.
In an unlisted YouTube video linked in the email, HHS Deputy Secretary Andrea Palm said the policy ensures “that our colleagues are able to show up every day as their whole selves.”
“I want to say clearly to every one of you: Who you are and who you know yourself to be is valid,” Palm continued. “We want you to be your authentic self every day, regardless of your gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, or disability status.”
Even though Palm briefly mentioned religion, neither the email nor the speakers in the video made any mention of accommodating or exempting employees who have religious objections to transgender ideology from the policy.
HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Rachel Levine, who is “an out and proud transgender woman” according to the video announcement, said this policy ensures that “all HHS employees, including transgender and nonbinary employees, have equal protections in the workplace….”

Democrats are less evolved and less wise than cavemen. Even a caveman knows that a biological male cannot be a woman.
Trannies should not have equal protection for their lies about themselves. When and how did so many adults become convinced that wishing something to be real makes it true? We have children governing us.
Same goes for gays lying about being married. They’re not. Neither is Admiral Levine a woman.
The emperor has no clothes. Democrats have no wisdom.
Just look at that picture of a “woman” and realize what a surreal state of the culture we are witnessing.
I’m not participating in delusional lies of the mentally ill, nor should you!
A mentally-sick, extremely delusional man like Levine should be strictly prohibited from being hired for serious, important government posts.
Those are all considered qualifications, according to Democrats. I mean, look at Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, John Fetterman, Jamaal Bowman, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson (Jamaica will tip over), Sheila Jackson Lee, Stacy Abrams, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. It goes on and on. Those are people you wouldn’t want planning your class reunion, yet they are all in the upper echelons of government.
To “affirm” non-reality by force demonstrates disassociation from reality. The inmates are running the asylum.
Americans badly need to restore requirements of dress codes and proper behavior, with good manners, good speech (no filthy profanity, beyond perhaps an occasional utterance of a “damn” or a “hell”), politeness, and the Golden Rule, for work, school, church, and for all nice public places. That must include– no goofy costumes, no cross-dressing. If you are mentally ill, and cannot dress yourself correctly– your mother or a family member should help you. When I was in high school and college, young ladies always wore dresses/skirts, and heels, daily– except for gym class. In Catholic school, boys and girls wore nice, gender-specific uniforms. In college, you couldn’t even go to the Student Union for breakfast in the mornings, unless you (if you were a young woman) were properly dressed in a nice dress, or skirt and blouse/sweater. Everyone looked and behaved much nicer, much more grown-up. You were ready for adulthood and responsibility. Ready for marriage and/or the workforce. Others took you seriously as joining adult life, everywhere. You could not enter a Catholic church even to pray, or light a votive candle, unless (as a woman) you were properly dressed in a dress/skirt, and mantilla, hat or scarf, to cover your head. A gentleman always removed his hat, in church, if he wore one. Those were lovely customs! They helped to make and maintain a good and decent society and civilization! Clothing and shoes, long ago, didn’t cost much– and lasted a long time. Even a poor girl had a few dresses, a Sunday dress, and a couple of mix-and-match skirts and blouses, and a sweater. Families passed down gently-used clothing to young, growing children, and even to high schoolers. We also had courses in Sewing, Clothing Construction, and Fashion Design, in Home Ec. classes. You could learn to make good clothing, and save money. And poor girls could also get good, gently-used clothing at Goodwill and similar stores. Things didn’t cost as much, overall. Life was simpler, more relaxed, less complex, less hurried. Judeo-Christian morality was respected and upheld, everywhere. Most people belonged to and regularly attended a church (or synagogue, for Jews). We were pretty safe, less crime, few problems. People in our area, as well as in many other areas, never locked their doors. Catholic churches were open 24/7, for anyone to make a Visit to the Blessed Sacrament, pray, say a Rosary, or light a votive candle. You could ring for a priest to come, 24/7, at a rectory, if there was an accident, or if someone was in danger of death. We had a lovely custom of always making the Sign of the Cross, whenever passing a Catholic Church, because Christ was truly present there, in the Blessed Sacrament. Everyone knew, that you must behave properly, reverently, when entering a Catholic Church– Christ is here. We badly need a full restoration of society, to time-honored good standards and norms of proper, good behavior and maturity of thinking, action, and speech. That includes dressing and behaving properly, maturely– and no goofy, childish games or crazy costumes, or cross-dressing, in public.
Unless there is a plenary indulgence attached, I an not wearing heels. I prefer my feet the way their Creator designed them, flat on the ground. The cumulative damage heels can do to women’s feet is appalling. You like them, you wear them.
A favorite, classic style that I just love, is a Chanel-style suit, either in a pastel color, Navy blue, black, or white– with appropriate, tasteful, classic jewelry (necklace and earrings). Perhaps a string of pearls and matching earrings. And lots of other good choices! And a nice, comfortable pair of pumps, to match. And I’m all ready for church! Lots of women love this style of dress! My mom liked this style, too. But her personality was very different! She was highly artistic, creative, extroverted, and could be charmingly flamboyant– reflective of her “Italian” heritage. Flamboyance always made me and my younger sister feel a little uncomfortable, when very young– we both were shy. My younger sister was a soft-spoken, graceful, poised, highly-trained ballerina— she was quiet, well-disciplined, and serious. She was very sophisticated and elegant in dress, very creative and artistic, also. Each of us had our own personality, our own style, and our own paths in life.
I just submitted a comment advocating for the return of good dress and good manners in American society. And I believe that cross-dressing should be prohibited in public. I should note, that before our society fell to the liberal leftist hippies and freaks of the 1960s era– our styles of dress were good, conservative, traditional fashions, that looked really nice on everyone! Clothing is meant to enhance your natural body, and help you look and move about nicely. Clothing is not meant to be the extremes of craziness, or unattractive, ugly “political statements,” (such as the sick, anti-woman feminists often wear) or extremes of filthy, prostitute-like, extremely degraded trash, or uncivilized, extreme fads, of any type. And that includes– no cross-dressing. On-the-job, and anywhere in public– I strongly believe that men like Levine should be required proper dress for a man. And proper hairstyles should be required, too– no bizarre hair styles, no long hair on men.
Here is your solution. The pronouns in question are third person pronouns. Don’t talk about people.
Don’t talk about nor talk to Democrats. Republicans are fine with correctly gendered pronouns based on biological sex.
The ones causing the problems are Democrats.
To be fair most Democrats I know do not talk that way either. I am sure everyone has misused a pronoun mistakenly on occasion. People who insist on made-up pronouns are people I do not want to be around, and there are ways to avoid them, even at one’s job. If my employer insisted on such behavior, I would find another occupation where there were no such requirements. Before my retirement, I did leave jobs I did not like and got better ones. If you are a good worker employers will hire you.

Exactly, don’t affirm them in their delusion.
