The pronoun wars have made it to Florida and the busloads of protesting clowns safely arrived in Tallahassee to wade into battle with the FL senate.

What started all the ruckus was yet another common sense answer to what had been an increasingly common workplace problem - 'preferred pronouns' and their applicability.

Not only applicability but the punitive measures in place in some instances if one purposefully or inadvertently did the 'M' thing.

MISGENDER SOMEONE

A 'someone' who then had #hurtfeelingz who more often than not was #triggered, who would then fly into a foaming-at-the-mouth fit of vengeful rage that no amount of soothing talk could calm, and go for the pulse beating in the jugular of the misgendering offender.

Said 'victims' never seem satisfied with less than the 'offender's' life's blood, aka their employment.

People are tired of the trans tyranny.

The genesis of this bill is based on that very same scenario. 

Gender identity could come under further fire in state workplaces as local lawmakers advance a bill to mandate state employers not to punish employees who deliberately misgender others and allow employees to express traditional or "biblical" beliefs around sexual and gender identity inside the workplace.

The Freedom of Conscience in the Workplace Act, filed in the Florida House of Representatives as HB1495 and in the Florida Senate as SB440, would do several things, including:

• Ban state employers (state, local governments, school districts, police and fire, etc.) from requiring employees refer to others using preferred pronouns.
• Ban employers from asking about any other genders but male or female on job applications.
• Requires employers to allow the expression of "deeply held religious, moral, conscience-based, or biology-based beliefs, including a belief in traditional or Biblical views of sexuality and marriage, or the employee's or contractor's disagreement with gender ideology" in or outside of the workplace.

Rep. Rachel Plakon (R-Seminole County) proposed the legislation after she said she heard of an employee of a local county government who expressed such beliefs online, was required to attend a diversity training but didn't go and got fired.

"It's our intention that people will still be able to exercise their freedom of speech," Plakon said in an emailed statement to WESH 2. "If they want to identify with certain gender identities and pronouns, they still can under this bill; however, as a condition of employment, training, instruction, or other activity related to gender identity will not be required."

The bill proposes to continue to afford every individual their right to identify as the animal, vegetable, or mineral of their choice. What it does is strip any chance of the vegetable legally requiring others to also identify them with their chosen identity.

A breath of sanity.

Predictably, as the two versions of the bill worked their way through the legislature, the trans lobby spooled up to fight with their time honored, tired lies. They were also #sadz about losing their ability to enforce woke-think upon the indifels.

WE CAN'T RETRAIN THE HERETICS UNDER THIS BILL

...The bill is being messaged as another "Don't Say Gay" bill, including by Equality Florida, an advocacy group for civil rights for Florida's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community.

Equality Florida also dubbed the bill "Trans at Work 2.0."

"This bill enacts state regulations on pronoun use in public and certain private workplaces. It shields employees from accountability for anti-trans harassment and intentional misgendering, and prohibits the inclusion of a transgender or nonbinary gender option on any job application or related employment form," Florida Equality said. "The bill also prohibits LGBTQ-related cultural competency training requirements for government workers."

Trans advocates had themselves a little protest march on the capitol last Thursday, complete with 'LET US LIVE' signage and chants.

LGBTQ rights advocates from across Florida walked the streets of Tallahassee and met at the steps of the Historic Capitol Thursday to protest legislation that they say would further roll back their rights.

Wearing blue shirts that said "Let Us Live," protesters chanted, "This is what democracy looks like," in fierce wind and rain.

It was awfully reminiscent of one of my favorites Alphabet Soup sex cult protests of all time - the EPIC meltdown they had when Ron DeSantiis and the legislature took away all the pronoun options from?

Florida drivers' licenses.

I'm here to tell you - DeSantis literally killed people.

Right here. See? It says so on the signs the corpses are holding aloft.

And by 'Ron DeSantis KILLED ME', he/she/ze/they means he/she/ze/they is butthurt because Florida Governor Ron DeSantis won't let him/her/zim/them display his/her/zir/their chosen gender instead of his/her/zir/their biological sex on his/her/zir/their Florida driver's license. pic.twitter.com/QAkyYdlguv

NEH-VAH EH-VAH GETS OLD

The sign says “Ron DeSantis killed me”.

Why?

Because Florida is requiring biological sex on drivers licenses!

It’s the classic left crying “People will literally DIE!!”

Imagine thinking your life will end over your ID having an M or F on it to reflect your biological sex. pic.twitter.com/InXxkPblQ1

And now he and the Tallahassee crowd has them spazzing again.

Today was Senate day for the bill and it made it through its first committee.

...McClain amended the bill to make it an unlawful employment practice for the state or any county, municipality, special district, or other political subdivision to require training, instruction, or any activity related to gender identity or gender expression as a condition of employment.

Democratic Sen. Kristen Arrington opposed the bill in debate, saying this bill is an “attempt to create a hostile work environment for LGBTQ people – particularly transgender Floridians.”

Public outcry: Over 30 members of the public spoke in opposition to the bill during public comment.

But not without some colorful howling from the crowd of naysayers.

YOU'RE KILLING US

WATCH: Members of the public are outraged over a bill that would restrict pronouns in the workplace.

Turquoise-coiffed Experts™ spoke for the opposition, too.

..."I'm a sociologist, I know that the research shows that their sex and gender are different and that gender identity is something that actually exists."

HO-kay.

The Senate bill passed out of committee despite the impassioned passion-flower pleas and is on its way to the next to last stop, while the House version has something like three more steps to go.

You'll notice I used 'it' referring to the bills.

Don't want to upset anyone.

Seriously. These crackbrained clowns are killing me.
