AP’s Matt Lee Asks Biden State Department Why They’ve Added Mandatory Pronouns onto the From Line on State Department Emails: ‘This Is Not an Optional Thing’
‘They’re giving the wrong pronouns! So men are being identified as women and women as men’
EXCERPT:
LEE: “Okay. Well, within the last hour and a half, two hours, the State Department’s internal E-mail system — and I tested this, so I know that’s true — has added pronouns to people’s — not their signature, but to their — you know, where it says ‘From,’ so it will say him/he/his or her/she/hers. Why? This is not an optional thing. This is something that has been just arbitrarily imposed. You know, I understand that people could have their pronouns attached if they wanted them to a signature before, but this is not something that anyone has a choice about, and so I’m just wondering why and who made this decision?”
