Freedom of speech means you can’t go to prison for saying something.
It doesn’t mean you don’t have to face whatever consequences your workplace chooses.
Example: You can call your boss an asshole. You can’t go to jail for calling him an asshole–because of freedom of speech. But you can very much get fired for calling him an asshole. :)
That’s not what free speech means either. The first amendment of the constitution says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Trump is blatantly violating the first amendment rights of federal employees. A business could fire someone for putting pronouns in their emails, the president however, cannot.

I disagree. But I guess we’ll find out what the courts say. Thanks, friend!
