Republicans want to give transphobic employees more legal protections
"Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have introduced bills in the House and Senate, respectively, that would prevent federal agencies and departments from punishing anyone who refuses to use a person’s correct name or pronouns. Anyone punished for misgendering or misnaming someone could sue the federal official who disciplined them for up to $100,000.
The bill, which has no chance of passing the Democratic Senate, was created in opposition to an October memo from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) directing employees to use the names and pronouns that others use to describe themselves. It’s co-sponsored by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and numerous other far-right anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans who regularly oppose so-called “woke” LGBTQ+-inclusive policies.
However, queer civil rights lawyer Alejandra Caraballo pointed out that the bill would also require people to refer to Sen. Cruz by his legal first name, Rafael, instead of his preferred nickname, Ted."
