Perfect!

In Wyoming, the legislature has decided, that you cannot require others to address you by your preferred pronouns — thinking that this will only hurt trans people, Trump wants to persecute.

So citizen Britt Boril calls in to a committee meeting and deliberately misgenders the male chairman as madam, which he takes offence to — because our rule about allowing disrespect was not meant to be used against us!

(And no, you should never misgenders others, but damn… this move was brilliant)

@randahl While entertaining, is there anything positive about this? There should be civil penalties for harassment, but I wonder about whether making it criminal is going too far.

@toadofsky
You can sue (civilly) over almost anything. As long as you can name damages. (IANAL)

Holding someone criminally liable for using the wrong pronoun seems absurd to me, even when done intentionally.

But intentionally misgendendering or dead-naming trans people still makes you an asshole.
