Los Angeles is currently implementing new workplace training that emphasizes gender inclusivity and addresses harassment for city employees that could run afoul of federal authorities under a directive signed by President Donald J. Trump. City employees, including those in the Fire Department, must complete annual “Workplace Harassment and Abusive Conduct” training. The training encourages the use of preferred pronouns and addresses gender identity as a protected category.
While the Trump executive order pertains to federal employees and contractors, it contains a provision that directs federal officials to stringently enforce certain civil rights and privacy protections afforded under federal law. The Los Angeles government’s workplace training program could be in violation of these protections, drawing civil action from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
According to a whistleblower who provided the training materials to The Federalist, Los Angeles public employees are being instructed on materials that explain terms related to gender identity and expression. Definitions include “gender expression,” “deadnaming,” and various gender identities such as “gender-fluid” and “two-spirit.” The training also covers policies regarding restroom use in accordance with gender identity and encourages employees to use gender-inclusive language with terms like “folks” and “squad.”
The whistleblower also highlighted explicit examples used in the training to illustrate inappropriate behavior, which included sexually suggestive conversations among cartoon characters. Employees must acknowledge the employer’s harassment policy by agreeing to the protocol presented in the training. The training is part of a broader policy established by Los Angeles in 2022 to foster workplace “equity” and reduce “discrimination.”
Los Angeles is currently recovering from historically devastating and deadly wildfires, which saw tens of thousands of acres burned across the metropolitan area.
