Should any one person be sent to jail if they use the wrong gender pronoun?

There are only 2 genders. Anything else is made up feel good bullshit.

My nephew was telling me that at his school it is considered hate speech to knowingly apply a gender pronoun to someone if they do not identify as that gender, regardless as to whether or not they present themselves as a male or female. This is a new policy, and I was dumbfounded, and asked how one is to know how to address a student, since you cannot use gender specific address without permission, a problem if you do not know their name.

He said that it's caused by a rabble-rousing family with a child who does not identify as their birth gender, yet baits people into referring to them as "her," since she was born a girl. Because of this, he was yelled at by another student for applying a gender specific pronoun when referring to her (the other student), who does identify as female because he presumed that's how she identified. She's a hanger-on to the rabble-rouser who started the entire situation, so she's applying it too. The shocking thing is that this is not in California, but in the Northeastern U.S.

It's not about identity and discrimination against transgender individuals because when one presents a specific way to the world, and another does not know them, an application of a gender specific pronoun does not constitute hate speech. However, once known how to address someone, by their preferred gender type, the deliberate action of referring to them by the other gender is a form of bullying behavior because one knows how they identify. Whatever happened to politely correcting someone and requesting that you be addressed in a certain way? Well, I guess manners don't generate protected societal classes and new definitions of so-called hate speech.

Those Californian fucktards will be begging to rejoin the US within days of succeeding once they realize how good they have it

they want to start a facial recognition data base in Aus based on everyones drivers licence photo.. im seriously considering identifying as a female islamie and rocking up in a burka at my next renewal :)

Will since hardly any of the states can decide on anything, perhaps its time for the union to dissolve all together. Maybe in a great big war! Let all the Americans shoot each other, I mean, they do that on a daily basis anyway.

We need to build a wall around California. It's less of a threat than Mexico.

Nope, they'll survive
