I've been reading a lot about the growing controversy of "woke" employees. The charge of "transphobia" comes so readily that employers are becoming wary of hiring the "woke" at all; their demands are endless, forever changing, and they bring chaos to the workplace with disruptive conflicts with coworkers and with management for not being "inclusive" enough.

A friend of mine was telling me about this happening in her company just yesterday.😅 And yes, the company is terrified of being taken to court for discrimination by employees who literally refuse to do their jobs (we're talking about a call centre here, nothing onerous) because of "trauma."
Having owned a company myself, I would never hire somebody who even gave a hint of all this nonsense. If you can't think clearly, or if you find answering a phone to be "traumatic", I don't want you anywhere near my company.
The host of the series doesn't do a terribly good job; he repeats phrases like "capitulate to your worldview" too much and barely mentions the core issue that the workplace is not a stage for self-projection, not of "gender identity" or anything else. He also casts it too much into the "entitled youth" vein.
But the young woman whose meltdown is the center of this video ... my god. She rolls out "correct pronouns" and "misgendered" and "gender identity" so often you can hear the dust in the grooves. Her strangely inappropriate expressions, smiling while expressing exasperation, cast doubt on her stability. She got into a screaming match at work with a coworker who would not refer to her as "they," though how the third person came thrice into a face to face conversation remains unexplained.
I have no doubt that she lost her job over this outburst, and also doubt she can maintain a job because she comes to project her "gender identity" more than to do her work. Imagine a meeting:
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen—"
Excuse me, but I am *non-binary*
and how quickly things go downhill from there.
I don't do it now but at a number of startups I have been given the task of winnowing down résumés from the hundreds to the few who might be called for interview. If I was to do that again, pronoun pairs would be instant rejection.
"But the young woman whose meltdown is the center of this video ... my god."
It genuinely makes me sad that a young woman has became so confused that she has to leave a meeting because somebody won't refer to her as "they." That this is a source of emotional tumuli.
Seriously, what are the odds that she finds herself on the streets or being horribly taken advantage of at some point because she simply isn't emotionally resilient enough for the very basics of life.
It was not a meeting, it was a face-to-face conversation. Which is really odd because she screamed that her coworker "misgendered" her three times. Funny, when I'm talking to someone I address him as "you," not as "he." Her boss got involved and didn't take her side and she ended up storming out of the office.
She mentioned that silly neologism "transphobic" but she isn't transgendered; real repeat real transgendered people adopt the opposite gendered pronoun at some point during transitioning, usually after reassignment surgery. "They" is the affectation of those "non-binary" people.
The host of the video, which I unsubscribed from because he says "Democrat Party," didn't make a very clear case that the workplace is not a stage for projecting oneself, she was supposed to be there to work, not to project her "gender identity."
I wonder how many seconds she can go without thinking about her non-binaryness. My guess is that those intervals are very brief.
Well... I also often smile when exasperated with someone. It's a way to convey both exasperation and condescension. :) <----- not intended to be condescending!

Or whatever.
I really hope this fad burns out soon.

I have no sympathy for her whatsoever.

Yep, happened at my company.
