I think this might be getting overblown a bit. I think if this is a communication to an internal community, like in any job, you'd not want people sharing deeply personal information about their sexual orientation and whatnot.

If I started a new corporate job and started just spouting "Hey, I'm [sexual orientation]" around the office or in chat rooms, I'd probably expect to be notified that it's not going to be acceptable in a professional environment. I think the Furry thing would also probably be advised against because, regardless of the actual nature, it may make people uncomfortable.

This person has every right to be announcing this as part of their identity in social settings, but it's not shocking if it's not allowed in a professional setting. The uncomfortable meter goes both ways, same as if someone else walks around the office spouting their cis-straight identity or religious bullshit. If it's making people uncomfortable, they should also have to curb that speech to stop upsetting people in the larger group. I don't think anyone has come up with a golden solution to solve for this that I'm aware of.

There doesn't seem to be any clarifying information on the nature of the list this was part of or anything, so it's really hard to get the context. If this was a corporate and public communication, it's not shocking if it was going against some corporate speak no-no bullshit. 🤷

Edit: Christ, I'm not even saying controversial and I'm being brigaded ffs 🤣
