It’s toxic for morale in an organisation when someone decides to identify a certain way for cynical reasons.

I work in HR in a large government organisation. It’s toxic for morale in an organisation when someone decides to identify a certain way for cynical reasons. I’ve had several really bad experiences with this. I’m sick of it.

I have been very forceful in making sure the actual not the stated wishes for is adhered to. I treated false accusations of discrimination and bullying extremely seriously.

I’ve been removed from groups, made feel unwelcome at events. Nothing too serious because I stood up to it.
