  • 250,000 fine for using wrong pronouns to identify transgender

    Seer must be on break

    Employers and landlords who intentionally and consistently ignore using pronouns such as “ze/hir” to refer to transgender workers and tenants who request them — may be subject to fines as high as $250,000.

    The Commission on Human Rights’ legal guidelines mandate that anyone who providing jobs or housing must use individuals’ preferred gender pronouns.

    As the regulations, updated late last year, point out, some transgender individuals prefer to use pronouns other than he/him/his or she/her/hers.

    Examples of less prominent pronouns that some transgender people may choose, according to the city, are: “ze,” which is the third person singular, such as he and she; and “hir,” which is the third person plural, similar to they.

    The legal enforcement is in line with the city’s guidance on discrimination based on gender identity or expression.

    “Gender expression may not be distinctively male or female and may not conform to traditional gender-based stereotypes assigned to specific gender identities,” the city advises.

    The city insisted that accidentally misusing a transgender person’s preferred pronoun is not against the law and would not be subject to a fine.

    Putting aside the absurdity that such an offense is worth half a quarter million, but isn't this a violation of the first amendment?

    "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

      Missed this one, but since when does the left care about the freedom of speech?

          What I don't get is how such a small minority of the populace has so much power and influence on government.

              Liberals don't care about the First Amendment, unless they have something to say.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
