GOP lawmaker whines about his "preferred pronouns" after being misgendered by clever constituent [View all]

Snip-"A woman testifying in the Wyoming legislature misgendered the Republican chair of the committee, who’s a cisgender man. When he complained about being misgendered, she pointed out that state Republicans passed a bill just last week saying that no one can be forced to use the correct gender pronouns for anyone else.

Britt Boril of Casper, Wyoming, was testifying before the Wyoming Senate Judiciary Committee this past Thursday on a bill to curtail trans people’s rights. And she started her testimony by referring to state Sen. Tim French (R) as “Madam Chairman.”


snip-"Well, I cannot be compelled to use your preferred pronouns as you have all voted,” Boril responded, referring to S.F. 77, the “Compelled Speech Is Not Free Speech” Act, which prohibits the state from requiring employees to use the correct gender pronouns when referring to others.

“Wait a minute, we’re talking about preferred pronouns, a lot of people are… I prefer to be called Chairman French. That’s my preferred pronoun,” French whined."
