> no one should be allowed to say or do anything at work that makes anyone uncomfortable in a personal way; no one should really care much about other peoples’ politics. Life is about so much more than politics While this sounds good in principle, there are still lots of people offended by others' personal choices and mere existence, and who do consider these political issues.

Bc being in a gay marriage is a f'ing political statement to people. https://twitter.com/liatrisbian/status/1386774755286601728 https://twitter.com/liatrisbian/status/1386774755286601728 > And as a non-binary person, telling me to not have political or societal conversation at work sends me the message that I should hide who I am and can’t have conversations around pronouns etc. > In fact, I have been told to not have those political or societal conversations.
