EEOC Bans ‘Misgendering’ With New Rule
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has now labeled “misgendering” as “harassment.” Not only is this an attack on free speech, it is also an attack on biology.
From Just the News. In landmark guidance, the federal commission created to fight racial and sexual discrimination declared Monday that employers that fail to use a worker’s preferred pronoun or refuse them the chance to use the restroom of their choice will be engaging in prohibited harassment.
Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission published the new harassment guidelines Monday after voting along partisan lines on Friday to approve them, even in the face of opposition from nearly two dozen red states. Three Democratic appointees approved the rules while two Republicans opposed them.
The new document elevates gender identity as a protected class under discrimination laws like race, sex and religion.
Prohibited harassment includes “repeated and intentional use of a name or pronoun inconsistent with the individual’s known gender identity (misgendering) or the denial of access to a bathroom or other sex-segregated facility consistent with the individual’s gender identity,” the new regulatory document declared. …
Job Creators Network, one of the nation’s leading small business groups, decried the new guidance.
“The Biden administration’s new guidance on transgender employees is yet another example of executive overreach by unaccountable bureaucrats,” Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz said. …
EEOC Chairwoman Charlotte A. Burrows argued the changes were necessitated by the Supreme Court’s Bostock v. Clayton decision in 2020 that found that a company would be in violation of Title VII anti-discrimination laws if it fired a worker “simply for being … transgender.” …

Agencies and committees of our government are trying to take the place of Congress and its setting rules, contrary to the Constitution. I pray God would continue to put them in their place like it did a couple other agencies.
There’s no protection from sexual harassment for women in the workplace anymore. I wonder how much of this movement is a demonic countering to the feminist movement.
Looking at end times. Praying. Remember Gods book warned us of this …
Ive prayed against it.
This is pure wicked evil perpetrated from the very pit of hell. Those who are far left liberals(Satan’s agents) are riding on the wings of “divide and conquer” mentality trying to put one group(Christians) against(liberals) the other. Most of all this is a direct threat to scare and demolish conservatives and Christians’ voices since we don’t share this viewpoint. I believe God still rules and super rules and calls for every Christian to stand up and be counted for righteousness sake.
