Let there be no mistake - any claim that an employer is not providing a safe workplace is a threat of legal action. This is what a passive-aggressive demand for someone's career to be ended looks like. Because he signed a letter upholding freedom of speech.
Aaaaaaaand he's gone.

The moment a trans person posted that Ygesias's signature on a letter supporting freedom of speech made her feel "unsafe" he was toast.
