One Florida lawmaker wants to restrict, if not end, transgender language politics in public workplaces.
State Rep. Ryan Chamberlin, a Belleview Republican, introduced a bill this week to protect public employees from “adverse” employment consequences for declining to go along with those who use “preferred” pronouns.
The bill seeks to shield employees who object to the grammar games of LGBTQ activists because of “deeply held religious or biology-based beliefs. That includes beliefs rooted in “traditional or Biblical views of sexuality and marriage” or a “disagreement with gender ideology, whether those views are expressed … at or away from the worksite.”

The proposed measure also would make it illegal for employers who receive state funding to require their workers to undergo any training or instruction on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
Chamberlain’s bill would apply to state, county, or city workers as well as those employed by special districts. The measure also applies to government contractors.
His bill would protect workers who don’t comply with left-wing gender identity demands from being fired, suspended, transferred, demoted, having their pay cut or bonuses withheld.
“It is the policy of the state that a person’s sex is an immutable biological trait and that it is false to ascribe to a person a pronoun that does not correspond to such person’s sex,” the bill states.

“An employee or a contractor may not be required, as a condition of employment, to refer to another person using that person’s preferred personal title or pronouns if such personal title or pronouns do not correspond to that person’s sex.”
Additionally, employees or contractors may not advise employers of a preferred pronoun if that does not correspond to the employee’s biological sex, under the bill.
