A Wyoming resident purposely referred to Wyoming Sen. Tim French (R) as "madam" in an effort to point out the hypocrisy of Senate File 0077, which states "compelled speech is not free speech," and employees of the state are not required to use another employee's preferred pronouns.

During Friday's Wyoming Senate Agriculture, State and Public Lands & Water Resources committee meeting, Britt Boril joined the meeting via video and addressed French as "Madam Chairman." When French told Boril to call him "Mister Chairman," Boril responded that she "cannot be compelled to use" his preferred pronouns.

"I prefer to be called Chairman French," French said. "That's my preferred pronoun."

"I know, and you all voted that preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech in SF77," Boril said. "Anyway, my name is Britt Boril..."

Boril did not respond to a request for an interview, but in a video posted on her Instagram, she said that "misgendering people is not cool," and it's "always disrespectful and dehumanizing whether intentional or not."

She said she's been watching her Wyoming legislators "tear people down" and not listen to residents' testimony, so when she deliberately misgendered French, "Disrespect was the message."

"We're all about mindful malicious compliance here," she said.

"We're all about mindful malicious compliance here,"

That is GOLD!
