Anyone have any advice on getting coworkers to remember & respect your pronouns? I wear a pronoun button every day, but that's had no difference... I've talked to people one on one... HR has been great and always gets it right, which I love. Any ideas I could give to our HR team?

Excerpt from Them.us article by the author, linked in first post in this thread: Casting a shadow over the document’s release is Brian Christine, an Alabama urologist nominated last month to become HHS’ assistant secretary of health — the position formerly held by Dr. Rachel Levine. As the Washington Post reported this week, Christine has been an advocate of “corrective care” for trans youth for years, pushing against medical care in favor of talk therapy and “pastoral care,” a type of religious Christian counseling. “Give them good counsel and pastoral care, and the vast majority of these kids are happy in their skin by their late teens,” Christine, a Catholic, said during a podcast appearance in 2023, apparently referencing long-debunked claims that a large number of trans youth will later “desist” and regret medically transitioning. Christine is also a COVID-19 conspiracist who, per the Post, pushed against COVID vaccine mandates and claimed that the pandemic was “weaponized” by the government to destroy small businesses. His nomination for HHS has been referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, but a hearing had not been scheduled at time of writing. [Inset: a link to another article, with an image of speakers at a rally standing behind a trans flag printed with the words "Protect trans kids." Headline: "Trump Administration Announces Special Investigative Team to Root Out Trans Athletes" Subhed: "The Title IX Special Investigations Team is a collaboration between the Departments of Education and Justice."]

extremely troubling context: along with RFK at the helm, the Trump admin is pushing to install urologist Brian Christine as assistant secretary of health at HHS -- a COVID conspiracist who has for years expressed his desire to "treat" trans kids' dysphoria with Catholic "pastoral care"

mermaid murmer, into my ear
entice me with secrets, i long to hear
sing about heaven as you pull me near
project dancing angels on the walls of my mind
strip off my flesh as we leave fear behind

This is straight up nazi shit. The nazis published propaganda on Jewish crime. If this were blackcrimeuk or immigrantcrimeuk everyone would see it for the bigoted shit that it is.

To AI shills & capitalist institutions, writers are simultaneously not important enough to compensate while alive and so important once dead that their machine-ghosts must be resurrected to continue the work of profit-making. Vile.

There are so many levels of 'hell, no' to this. Most obvious among them - YOU ARE NOT LEARNING FROM AGATHA CHRISTIE!

You are having some jumped-up scion of Eliza do a probably wildly inaccurate and useless Christie impression at you.

It's yet another was to grift people with dreams and it sucks.

Now is a great time to be supportive of trans people you know, or those you don't.

Actually, always is a great time to speak out against the goddamn lying ghouls trying to pretend trans people are some mysterious threat to anyone, and not just people trying to live their lives.

A message to our followers.
