this is more like your boss ordering lunch for a team, and sending a form with options for meat, vegetarian or other. but rather than selecting vegetarian, you select other and put in a screed about how eating animals is wrong.

- sterlind 3y agoI don't think he does, because his religious beliefs are accommodated: as a Catholic who believes God created him as male, he can select "he/him." The pronouns he uses were listed there for him to pick. The form didn't ask him to elaborate; he chose to. He was protesting the existence of the question because it gave other people an option he personally chose not to exercise - protesting that option is like protesting having pork as one of several options for team lunch, vs. just choosing not to have the pork.
