That is just not accurate. In the DEI heyday of 4-5 years ago, the liberal "regime" of pronouns became standard policy at most large organizations, especially public and non-profit. Employees were at least encouraged to include she/her/hers / he/him/his / they/them/theirs in email signatures. It was "optional", but if you didn't, well... you were quietly labeled by the politically correct powerful as anti-DEI, non-conformist, or... conservative.

I don't think so. I've corresponded with government folk in their official capacity and never got a letter that had he/him/his, etc., it was all sparklingly neutral, just like I wrote for 30 years. And as for the obligatory courses, it's just an addition, might take 15 minutes, if it actually changed anything. I remember I had to stop saying oriental in the gov, we all laughed, but I switched to Asian Pacific Islander. I groused and said I wanted to be called Caucasian European American because it was longer. But it was an easy switch No biggee. Outside a Outside of a few areas of the government and corporate, it isn't noticeable. People are generally polite at work.

It's y'all making it into a wedge issue that's the problem part. I had no problem with trans in the Philippines, they're quite accepted, but made fun of just a little bit.
