Topic	California legislation suggests fine or jail time for misgendering a transgender
Iamwauwa 08/28/17 11:27:28 PM #27:	This should get thrown out pretty quickly, as it's a clear violation of basic constitutional rights. Mead posted... ImCallingYouOut posted... punish any caregiver who "knowingly" uses the wrong gender pronoun to refer to one of their patients. This makes sense. It specifically refers to caregivers of patients, and "knowingly" would need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, so this would only be enforceable against anyone that was being overtly bigoted The law itself is bigoted, basically saying believe a certain way or else. And since it comes with fines and jail time, it is definitively fascist in principle. People are free to live how they want, and if a company doesn't want to hire someone who won't follow their policies, they don't have to. But applying a legal punishment to someone for living peacefully according to their beliefs is wrong. <cite>Iamwauwa posted [p:885631425] in California...
