    I’ve seen it like Michael pushing diversity training sessions onto the office (US) in the first season. Complete misunderstanding and absurd enthusiasm. I bet he would spend a night educating himself about gender and sexuality on the first resources found in google.

    Listen, Dwight. Why would you put a sign saying MALE over your desk?

    I insist on keeping it. We, Schruttes, are born Schruttes first, and everything else is out of our concern.

    But why? Even Jim picked his new gender. Thrice this lunch, actually. Why don’t you play into it to make our space more friendly for gendered people? Just for a day.

    But…

    You’ve heard me. Go take a break, and return with a new gender of your choice!

    Next scene: a table sign saying GENDER-CONFORMING AMAB DWIGHT KURT SCHRUTE

    It a little bit better as a satiric sketch than it is as a boomer humor. Especially, if Michael gets ridiculed for this senselessness in the end, like it happens every time.
