It really depends. In my situation, both the bf and I held the same student worker position at our respective universities and both of us would have been fired on the spot for expressing these views publicly, or at least pulled aside. I wish I was joking. He hasn't graduated yet and relies on this position to attend school, so he's struggling with it right now.

You should be able to sue your universities for putting you under that kind of stress

I wish. They're both very liberal-leaning state schools in a blue state (which is great) but the admins for our departments are very much on the "everyone share your pronouns in workshops and have them listed in email signatures" type of bandwagon. At my school, "misgendering" a student is enough to trigger a Title IX investigation. It is insanity.
