Tweet by San Antonio Express-New, saying: “Sen. Rafael Edward Cruz, who uses the preferred name Ted, has introduced a bill to limit the use of preferred names and pronouns.”
For those wondering:
“Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, legally named Rafael Edward Cruz, has introduced a bill in the U.S. Senate titled the Safeguarding Honest Speech Act. The legislation proposes prohibiting federal funds from enforcing policies requiring federal employees to use preferred pronouns or names other than an individual’s legal name”
So he just wants to stop the federal government from enforcing pronouns or aliases in government settings…?
When does the government actually FORCE or ENFORCE pronoun usage though, using government money?
Am I taking crazy pills or is he just making shit up?
*Just wanted to say I appreciate all the people replying, the implications of his bill may be more severe than I initially read into it.
Currently the federal government has to respect an employees preferred name and pronouns by law. This would be a violation of individuals rights but when did they ever care about rights.
What is the act or bill or whatever this was passed in? And is it a recent thing?
Legally, if I tell the government to call me by X name and use Y pronouns, they must respect it.
Rapheal “loves-the-feeling-of-freshly-pissed-pants” Cruz, or as he is most commonly known, Piss Pants Cruz, doesnt like mandating respect for an individuals preferred form of address.
I’ve always been partial to That Asshole Ted Cruz, but Piss Pants Cruz works.
Anyone can be, and sometimes are, That Asshole.
Only raphael Piss Pants cruz loves the warm feeling he gets when he willingly pisses into his own adult pants.
Fair enough.
No, this is classic fascist double-speak. It’s meant to make you feel like you’re taking crazy pills, unless your brain has already been rewired by fascist propaganda.
