A public sector worker is facing disciplinary action for refusing to use a new colleague’s they/them pronouns — and Jay says it’s “bullshit” and a “disgrace”. Adrian and Jeremy ask: in a workplace, is it basic respect… or forced ideology?

Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.
