Florida bill seeks to place restrictions on use of pronouns

TALLAHASSEE -- In what could fuel a new round of legislative battles about gender identity, a House Republican on Tuesday filed a bill that would place restrictions on government agencies in the use of personal pronouns.

The bill (HB 599), filed by Rep. Ryan Chamberlin, R-Belleview, for the 2024 legislative session, also would restrict workplace training about issues involving sexual orientation and gender identity.

Mirroring parts of a law that the Republican-controlled Legislature passed this spring about gender identity issues in the education system, the bill says it is "the policy of the state that a person's sex is an immutable biological trait and that it is false to ascribe to a person a pronoun that does not correspond to such person's sex."

It would prevent state and local government agencies from requiring employees and contractors to refer to other people "using that person's preferred personal title or pronouns if such personal title or pronouns do not correspond to that person's sex" as determined at birth.

Florida's rates of home insurance is whacked but this is more important it seems.

Someone needs to look into Chamberlin's extracurricular activities. I note some self hatred there. Just saying.
