Katter Proposes Bill to Legislate Gendered Pronouns

A bill proposed by Queensland cross bencher, Robbie Katter, seeks to legislate the right to use gendered pronouns in the workplace.

The Anti-Discrimination Commission of Queensland has received no complaints from people forced to use non-gendered language at work, and are ‘not aware of it happening and it being a concern’.

Commissioner, Scott McDougall, says the bill could expose vulnerable people, such as those who are transgender, gender diverse or intersex, to increased discrimination.
