“Interesting” — one word from Elon Musk yesterday resurrected a study from earlier this year. Media and Twitter liberals predictably feigned shock and outrage. Yet the study on how “nonbinary gender pronouns” affect one’s job prospects wasted time and money to produce obvious results.
In a preliminary survey, the researcher found that “80 percent of nonbinary people believed that identifying as nonbinary would hurt their job search.” He then tested this sentiment by submitting two sets of resumes to 180 entry-level jobs. The resumes were identical in every way, except that one included “they/them” pronouns. The experiment found that the “they/them” resumes received 8 percent less interest than the control.
