An elderly California woman claims she was forced to step down from her volunteer position of 60 years after she asked for clarity on the use of pronouns.
Fran Itkoff, the 90-year-old leader of the Lakewood/Long Beach Self-Help Group, was told her organization would no longer be affiliated with the National MS Society after her “failure to abide by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion guidelines.”
As Itkoff noticed the pronouns more often, she asked one of the society’s representatives what it meant. The nonagenarian, however, did not get a clear answer.
A few days after the conversation, on a Friday at 4:58 p.m. Itkoff received her “pink slip.”
