Crime Soars as Harris County Sheriff Focuses on Preferred Pronouns for Transgender Staff
Despite steadily rising crime rates, woke policies are prioritized over public safety.Cities throughout the nation broke their record homicide rates last year, and Houston saw a 71 percent increase in homicides from 2019 to 2021.
As crime soars, law enforcement in the Houston area had a deadly stretch last week with three officers killed, another three shot, and a K9 stabbed.
Amid these tragedies, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez released a memo to all Harris County sheriff’s office staff on Monday, asking that they “always be respectful of employee’s [sic] pronouns and gender identity.”
“As we all know too well, law enforcement face more than public concerns. Law enforcement also deal with additional stress leading to physical and mental health anxieties. Now, imagine carrying the added emotional burden of having to suppress who you are because it does not conform to society’s norms regarding sexual orientation and gender identity.”
The letter then insists that the only proper response to a coworker informing you of their transgender status is communication of immediate support.
In the event of meeting a new coworker, the letter advises that employees share their own name and pronouns before asking the new employee for their preferred pronouns.
