This is where identity politics inevitably leads. Someone is offended, and it’s a huge problem.

The College Fix reports:

Mizzou library staffer reported to bias team for criticizing ‘non-binary’ people: reportA library employee at the University of Missouri reported his co-workers for allegedly saying during a hiring interview that “being trans is fine as long as they aren’t non-binary,” according to a bias report obtained by The College Fix.The Fix recently obtained the bias report via a public records request.The staff member appears to have reported the allegation on behalf of the person who interviewed for a job last August and alleged discrimination based on “their” “gender identity.”According to the complaint, the interviewer had said he or she would “super not discriminate.” The identity of the interviewer is not known and the person reporting the incident, a librarian, named three possible respondents, whose names are redacted.The “named respondents are constantly misgendering them and their coworkers,” the person who filed the complaint also alleged.The person who relayed the discrimination also alleged other instances of discrimination. “They were given a ‘changing room’ with no light and a faulty lock that didn’t lock. They felt very uncomfortable changing in there as anyone could walk in while they were changing.”The filer appears to be librarian Gabe Harman who did so after speaking to his supervisor, Vera Elwood. Neither responded to multiple emailed requests for comment on the allegations in the past several weeks.The Fix asked Harman what prompted him to file the report, for clarification on the timeline of the incidents, and for details about the reported issue with the changing room facility, and any resolution to the complaint.However, Mizzou spokesman Travis Zimpfer said no formal complaint has been submitted. The Office of Institutional Equity, which received the complaint, considers the matter “closed.”“University of Missouri policy (CRR 600.010) prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity or gender expression, as well as race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, age, disability, protected veteran status and any other status protected by applicable state or federal law,” Zimpfer said.
