No, not a single state, county or city.

No. And it would be a breach of the first amendment to legislate against such words.

I know new york has a law like that (might of been repealed or over turned I have no clue). With the exception of extremely left areas and even then they don't force you. The vast majority of the US doesn't have that rule.

Do you have a source?
I would 100% believe someone would try to pass a law, but there is no way that would get anywhere.

What is "non gender" even supposed to mean? Or did you mean "non binary"?

FYI I'm european as well, and ignorance is no excuse for being an asshole tbh. How would you feel like if you were constantly approached with pronouns of the wrong gender?

No. And it would be a breach of the first amendment to legislate against such words.

The 14th amendment creates a conflict there, and as such states can potentially pass laws in that direction. Those laws would certainly go to court, but the potential exists.

That said, I frequently use words like "dude" or "guys" to refer to my female friends and they do as well. They'd be more offended if I called them "chicks" or "girls." It's more a matter of social awareness with whom you're interacting than anything else.

No, thankfully there's no law forcing people to pander to the mentally ill. And I don't mean transgender people. I mean people who raise hell if you don't call them one of however many pronouns they feel best describe their mood that particular day. Xhe, shem, herm, whatever. Fuck that.

[Ghostpanther]

No and it would be a stupid law if they did. Teaching proper English in schools is fine, but no thanks to Big Brother laws.

I know here in Australia recently, Qantas Airline staff have been told to use gender neutral words when on the job.. They are no longer allowed to say mother, father, mum, dad, husband, wife and so on when working.. All I know is it is getting ridiculous down here now..

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but a completely new poster with a divisive, content-free, culture-war throwaway post sure pattern matches to Russian trolling.

In UK you get PC madness daily, I agree with that, but not in other EU countries
