The Pronoun Police

Representative Claudia Tenney (R-NY) says the Biden administration’s trans-inclusive changes to Title IX test our First Amendment rights. “Forcing people to use pronouns, in my view of the First Amendment, is what’s called compelled speech and the freedom of speech prohibits the government from telling people what to say,” she says. “It’s like they can’t tell you you have to say the Pledge of Allegiance or stand for the flag. And so forcing someone to actually use pronouns that they don’t choose to use and then holding your employer liable to me is going to have First Amendment problems.”
