It’s criminalized immediate outrage. And the term is misgendering — using any term that casts someone as a gender other than the one they declared. He/she/they is being 100% assumed here. There’s a list of 30 though most trans people prefer he/she anyway. The language is vague. And not everyone agrees with the multiplicity of genders.
I don’t mind any of the social development of these concepts. As mentioned I personally wouldn’t object to calling someone xir. But that’s the point. Just because I wouldn’t object doesn’t mean the idea of force/law angle here is good. Corralling language that way undermines open discourse in the first place, at its core value. It’s a very dangerous concept dressed up in a well meaning cause. It’s just another flag burning debate except the left supports it.
