Topic	California legislation suggests fine or jail time for misgendering a transgender
Tropic_Sunset 08/29/17 12:26:59 PM #45:	adjl posted... OhhhJa posted... Topic title is misleading. If this only applies to caregivers and is intended to prevent harassment in that environment I see no problem with it Pretty much. It applies very narrowly, and is clearly intended specifically to improve quality of life for nursing home patients. That's not really a bad thing. More broadly? Misgendering people makes you an ass, but it shouldn't be illegal. Fortunately, that's not actually what the topic is about. Pretty much this. If it was applied to the general population I'd have a huge problem, but the law as it stands is at least defensible. Smarkil posted... Imagine if you went into your patient's room every morning and said, "Morning Fuckface. Let's get your fat ass up." Should you be charged with breaking a law? Or should you be reported to the business and fired/blacklisted for being a shithead instead? This is actually...an interesting point. --- "Nostalgia is a hell of a drug." -Magus 10 <cite>Tropic_Sunset posted [p:885656746] in California...
