Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News oversees a woke gender regime in which staff are required to share restrooms with colleagues of the opposite sex and submit to their preferred pronouns.
The network – which recently fired the populist-leaning Tucker Carlson – has a company handbook dated January 2021 outlining various pro-transgender policies, making reference to “Workplace Transition Plan[s]” for transgender employees.
Fox employees are required to use the preferred pronouns of trans colleagues, with biologically male “transwomen” given full access to the bathrooms of natural-born women.
The Daily Signal notes some of these concessions are required under the New York City Human Rights Law – but the Fox handbook appears to go much further than necessary, with its pages being filled with “a slew of LGBTQ terms, including cisgender, gender expression, gender-fluid, gender identity, gender non-conforming, [and] non-binary,” and boasting of the company’s commitment to “expanding and strengthening… a more inclusive work environment.”
“Employees who are transitioning their gender have the right to be open about their transition if they so choose, and to work in an environment free of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, and without fear of consequences or transphobia for living openly,” the handbook declares.
“They want you to think it’s this place that supports traditionally conservative values, but in reality, they’re pushing this nonsense behind the scenes,” a source described as a former Tucker Carlson Tonight producer said of Fox in comments to the Signal.
“Fox News devotes hours of programming to attacking ‘woke companies,’ but ironically Fox is as woke as the rest of them,” another ex-Fox source said.
