Originally a comment by Your Name’s not Bruce? on True inclusion requires more and more and more.

Getting to true inclusion for LGBTQIA2S+ employees requires much more than an inclusive and respectful workplace policy…

Oh? “Much more?” For most people, you’d think that would be sufficient.

True inclusion for LGBTQIA2S+ employees means creating a psychologically safe workplace environment…

Please define “a psychologically safe workplace environment. ” Isn’t this a good thing for everyone to have? Why do I get the feeling that “psychological safety” isn’t going to be as “inclusive” as it should be, and that some employees’ “needs” are going to be prioritized over others. We saw this with Maya Forstater and Alison Bailey. All this “true inclusion” seems to come with not-so-fine print and a hefty price for women being forced to stay silent about sex-based rights, which are inevitably eroded when men who declare they are women make claims to women’s positions and facilities. That would seem to run counter to women’s psychological safety.

and expanding allyship practices across all departments.

Allyship? When someone goes to work, they’re expecting to be joining as colleagues within their company, not storming the beaches of Normandy or joining NATO. In the context of trans “rights” the concept of “ally” has been thoroughly poisoned, as many of the most beligerent, hair-trigger bullies in this movement are self-styled “allies” using this supposed struggle on behalf of the “most marginalized” as a convenient pretext and licence to unleash their misogyny. So forgive me if the call to “expand allyship across all departments” sounds more like a recruitment drive for the office Stasi.

When publicly identifying as LGBTQIA2S+, an individual is inviting people into a personal part of their life journey. A part that requires being vulnerable and that should be protected and celebrated.

Wait, we’re at work, right? Isn’t oversharing considered rude? I’m not interested in some trans-identified person using aspects of their personal life as some sort of “centering,” team-building exercize that makes them more special than anyone else. I don’t want to be forced to be part of someone’s narc supply. And as for “celebrating,” let’s leave that to the occasional staff birthday, wherein everyone in the workplace (assuming they wish to be so acknowledged) gets their own special day. Pass me a slice of cake, but don’t make me kiss your ring.

All this “allyship” and “celebration” is just so infantilizing. TiMs (and let’s face it, their demands are the driving force behind most of this twaddle) are grown-ass men. Dress it up with all the language of the oppressed, downtrodden, and fragile, but men are not “marginalized,” and to help them don the mantle of the “most victimized” is insulting to anyone who is actually an oppressed, downtrodden victim.

Forced teaming allows the T to hitch themselves up to the history of Gay Rights and AIDS awareness that is not theirs, projecting the “presence” of transness (as it is currently promulgated) decades farther back before it existed. The aspiration to “continue to promote a safe world for LGBTQ individuals to live truthfully and openly,” would be great if “TQ” individuals actually did live honestly as the sex they are, rather than insisting that the entire world recognize, treat, and “celebrate” them as the sex they are not. Making the world safe for the propagation and enforcement of lies is not a laudable goal.

Coming out of the closet, shortened to “coming out,” is often a metaphor used to describe LGBTQIA2S+ people’s self-disclosure of their sexual orientation, romantic orientation or gender identity.

When I first became aware of the concept of “coming out” it referred to sexual orientation and nothing else. Again forced teaming at work. The problem with T is that it’s not content with coming out of the closet, it wants to ascend the throne, with all the bowing, scraping, and hosannahs thrown in to boot. Still not kissing that ring.

“Coming out” is experienced variously as a psychological process or journey. In coming out there is: decision-making or risk-taking; a strategy or plan; a matter of personal identity; a rite of passage; liberation or emancipation from oppression; feelings of LGBT pride, shame and social stigma; or even a career-threatening act.

With the T it’s also a power play when it invades women’s spaces. Resisting or even questioning this intrusion can be a career-threatening act.

Everyone deserves a life free from bias, discrimination and hate — and we are working hard every single day to make sure that is a reality for you and for everyone.

Does that include women who know, and say openly, that men are not women?

We are going to build a world where every LGBTQIA2S+ person can be healthy, safe, liberated, celebrated and joyful in every area of our lives – without exception!

But you can’t do this. Trans ideology is profoundly misogynistic, homophobic, and untrue. Making the world safe for it means making it unsafe for half the population. The world you’re proposing is a nightmare we’re supposed to welcome with rictus grins and hymns of praise. Genderism encourages body-hatred to the point of self-mutilation and lifelong , debilitating medicalization in pursuit of an impossible goal. How does any of that lead to health, safety, or liberation? It doesn’t. It is not my responsibility to make people who’ve encouraged to follow this ghastly pathway feel “joyful” about their decision to do so, and to demand our obedience, compliance, and silence in the face of this monstrous untruth. I’m not going to kiss the ring; I’m not even going to smile.
