Welcome to SJW hell

Enjoy your - oh wait, is "hell" a religiously-offensive term, what's the religion-agnostic politically correct term for a bad place

Ive lost count to how often Ive mistaken a women for a man tbh.

But that might just be a Dutch issue, not sure about other countries.

How about Detrioit?

I'm pretty sure the press has a field trip with misrepresenting that law any way they can.
I'd rather see a lawyers comment on that thing before we call for a riot.
It is not like they can sue for one slip up, even this article concedes that.

I want to be addressed as Leafshit Puddingbottom, bane of Azeroth.

Well, that's pretty retarded. No idea why people get so offended over misgendering, they can just correct people on it if it happens.

From the article in the OP:

“For example, repeatedly calling a transgender woman ‘him’ or ‘Mr.’ after she has made clear which pronouns and title she uses,” the guide says.

(bold emphasis is mine)

It would have been horrible if they didn't even allow for the possibility of an honest mistake. If you continue to go out and call people something they dislike, I can understand there being an issue though.

This is the best law ever,ever

Your pronouns can be anything. You can walk into any store and say your pronouns are " Hilter did nothing wrong" If they refuse to address you with that you can sue them.

This is amazing. This law is the greatest. Good god the fun starts now.

This is the best way of combating stupid policies. For example, when schools opened up to allow religious organizations to pass out pamphlets as free speech, "satanists" started doing it. The school quickly reconsidered the policy.

If this SJW nonsense ever occurs where I live, I'm going to say I identify as "nigger," and they must address me as such or I will report them.

Well played.

On topic, wow, everything I think we have reached the bottom of the rabbit hole people find a whole new bottom for me to explore. I hope the courts toss this out immediately.

the far left is just as ridiculous as the far right. De Blasio (if he supports this) is just as dangerous as Trump / Tea Party.

Well, that's pretty retarded. No idea why people get so offended over misgendering, they can just correct people on it if it happens.

You're talking about the nation that deems it appropriate to fall into a hysterical breakdown when reading Trump written on the staircase in chalk.

It must be dutch. I've never done that in my life.

Yeeep. This is why we no longer do gender identity threads. Locking this here.
