The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has rolled out a new gender pronoun policy that one Heritage Foundation expert and former HHS official says violates employee rights and will result in firings for "misgendering."
"HHS and the federal government is requiring its employees to speak falsehoods," Roger Severino, the Heritage Foundation’s vice president for domestic policy and the former head of civil rights at HHS during the Trump administration, told Fox News Digital.
Severino first broke the story on X, formerly Twitter, last week. He wrote that HHS "imposed a transgender pronoun mandate on its employees who will now be forced to deny biological realities with their own words or face firing" and he included a screenshot of an email sent to employees at the department.
Severino told Fox News Digital that the First Amendment protects federal employees from being required to speak falsehoods, being compelled to adopt a state-approved ideology and requiring people to deny their own faith.
"These policies would require all of those things," said Severino, a Harvard Law School graduate.
"All employees should be addressed [by] the names and pronouns they use to describe themselves," the email to HHS employees stated as part of its push for "Gender Identity and Non-Discrimination Guidance" that it says protects "employee rights and protections related to gender identity."
Severino says the push began with two White House executive orders, one in January 2021 and one in June 2022, that were framed as ways to combat "gender discrimination" on the basis of "gender identity."
"All applicants and employees should be addressed by the names and pronouns they use to describe themselves. Using correct names and pronouns helps foster workplaces free of discrimination and harassment," the U.S. Office of Personnel Management guidance states.

standard tyranny practice
they force you to lie
to reduce resistance to the tyranny
it also outs any resistance
The left is still worried about mis gendering someone while caring less about Hamas killing Jewish babies.
priorities
OMG the time to get over this nonsense is NOW.
If there were any conservatives working for this age agency they must immediately identify as “gender fluid.” Change pronouns every few hours and when they are “misgendered”sue. Keep doing it over and over. Make them regret this.
it is not about gender pronouns
the issue is never the issue
the issue is always the revolution
Everyone in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) involved in producing and enforcing this perverted travesty should be indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced to be publicly hanged for attacking the First Amendment and for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
And let their carcasses rot off the noose.
I like the way you think.
Well, accept those those employees that subscribe to reality.
Those employees can bite it.
Those employees will be discriminated against and lose their livelihood.
Ha! I love it. 🤣
Some years ago I taught ESL classes in factories. There were two classess and on the first say of class two women came into my room to ask if they were in the right place. I asked their names to see if they were on my list. One was Maria and the other was Hector. “You’re Hector?” I asked one of the women and she confirmed it. Well, Hector was a man but with the hairstyle, makeup, clothes and jewelry, he made a very convincing woman. He fooled me. But everyone referred to him as Hector and his pronouns were he/him/his. After the intial confusion I never had a problem keeping it straight. I can imagine the confusion, though, of having to deal with a lot of people and trying to remember which he’s are she’s and which she’s are he’s and which people of of either sex opt for the whimsical “they”.
some years ago at usp Leavenworth I was a correctional worker and I got a new name tag that just said Massa the inmates stopped yelling for me.
LOL!
This in a country where, sadly, a majority of its schoolchildren can’t even define a “pronoun” any longer.
"New 'Orwellian' HHS pronoun mandate forces employees to 'deny reality,' violate law: legal expert"
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate INTRAstate healthcare policy, Obamacare for example, unconstitutional imo.
So HHS shouldn't even exist imo, HHS dictates based on stolen state powers.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.
ASAP, Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to be ready to primary ALL incumbent state and federal lawmakers and executives in 2024 primaries who are up for reelection, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company, Jordan (and others?).
Incumbents need to be replaced with Trump-supporting lawmakers who will support Trump to finish draining the swamp.
There are no limits to tyranny...
There is no end in sight!

Perhaps throwing in an occasional everyone/no one would spice things up too.
