In fact it’s now illegal in the city of New York for an employer or even a landlord to call someone by the “wrong gender” if they identify as one of these insane characters. “Refusal to use a transgender employee’s preferred name, pronoun, or title may constitute unlawful gender-based harassment,” reads the New York City Legal Enforcement Guide on Gender Identity.327 Fines of up to $250,000 may be issued for willfully “mispronouning” someone.328
In California, Democrat governor Jerry Brown signed a similar bill into law in 2017 which now makes it a crime for healthcare workers to “willfully and repeatedly” refuse to call a patient by their “preferred name or pronouns.”329 Workers can be fined $1000 or even sent to jail for up to one year.330 Similar laws will likely be put in place for schoolteachers, business owners, or maybe everyone, if we don’t reverse this madness soon.
The same craziness is happening in Canada. In June 2016 Canada’s Senate passed a bill into law (C-16) which essentially criminalizes calling someone by a pronoun that’s not their “preferred” pronoun.331 Liberal media, including outlets in the United States claimed, “Arguments about free speech and pronoun criminalization have been debunked,” but in the details they admit that fines may be issued and other punishments (like being fired from your job), but “jail time is not one of them.”332
An NBC contributor recommended that the FCC fine anyone who calls a transgender person by a pronoun other than their “preferred” pronoun (like calling Caitlyn Jenner a “he”). “We need to stop misgendering people in the media, and there needs to be some type of fine that’s put into place for outlets, for media outlets — that could be print, online, radio or what have you — that decide they’re just not going to call people by their name,” she said. “There are guidelines that have been put in place by GLAAD that have been put out to all press outlets, and if you don’t follow them, you should be fined by the FCC. It should be that serious.”333
What is Cisgender?
While it would be impossible to understand (or even list) all the different “genders” liberals have invented, you should know what “cisgender” is since it’s a new term they’re throwing around a lot to describe “people of privilege.” Cisgender (pronounced “siss”) means a person whose biology matches their “gender identity,” or in other words, a normal man or woman.
But, since it’s not “inclusive” to say that boys have a penis and girls have a vagina, or to call them “normal” boys or girls if they’re normal, the Leftists have invented yet another term we’re supposed to waste our brain cells remembering and get punished if we don’t use it.
If you’re a normal person and refuse to call yourself a “cisgender” male or female, and instead insist that you’re just a normal man or woman, that is now seen as bigotry and “trans-exclusionary.”334
Terms “Boy” and “Girl” are “Wrong”
There is increasing pressure on parents and teachers to stop referring to children as boys or girls, and instead raise them “gender neutral,” meaning no gender at all! The Independent in London argued, “We should reconsider assigning babies as ‘boys’ or ‘girls’ at birth,” and said with transgender celebrities like Lavern Cox and Caitlyn Jenner raising ‘awareness’ of gender dysphoria, maybe it’s time to stop raising children as either boys or girls.
The writer wonders, “why do we still assign gender to children at birth? People are accepting that the gender the midwife assigns us at birth after taking a look at our genitals doesn’t always match up with how we feel inside. That’s why some people identify as trans, gender non-binary and queer.”335
At the beginning of the 2016 school year, teachers in Charlotte, North Carolina were told to stop addressing their students as either boys or girls, and instead just refer to them as “students” or “scholars” because some of them may be transgender or gender non-conforming and maybe aren’t comfortable being raised as a boy or a girl.336
In August 2017, Planned Parenthood, best-known for being the largest killer of babies in the history of the human race, published their recommendations for parents on how they should teach their preschoolers about gender in a guide titled, “How do I talk with my preschooler about their body?” and want parents to teach their kids that, “your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl.”337
It says, “While the most simple answer is that girls have vulvas and boys have penises/testicles, that answer isn’t true for every boy and girl. Boy, girl, man and woman are words that describe gender identity, and some people with the gender identities ‘boy’ or ‘man’ have vulvas, and some with the gender identity ‘girl’ or ‘woman’ have penises/testicles.”338
Why parents should be talking about sex and gender with children still learning their ABCs is a mystery to normal people, but we’re talking about Planned Parenthood, an organization that murders several hundred thousand babies each year.339
Many celebrities have jumped on the gender-bending bandwagon since they’re always at the forefront of moral decay. Charlize Theron adopted a son in 2012 from her home country of South Africa and on several occasions has been photographed with him wearing dresses and other girl clothes.340
Before they divorced, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were also seen in public with their daughter Shiloh wearing boy’s clothes, causing many to wonder if they were raising her as a boy.341 Will Smith’s teenage son Jaden proudly wears women’s clothes in order to “challenge” gender norms and hopes to make others “more comfortable” to do so.342 Singer Pink is reportedly raising her child gender neutral as well.343
The largest gay lobbyist organization in the United States, calling themselves the “Human Rights Campaign” (whose symbol is the yellow “equal” sign over a blue background you’ve probably seen on bumper stickers), published a “Back to School Guide” encouraging school administrators to, “Avoid using gender to divide and address students,” and recommends, “Instead of addressing your class using ‘boys’ and ‘girls,’ try something new. Words like ‘friends,’ ‘students’ or ‘scholars’ allow all students to feel included, expand student vocabulary and model inclusive language and behavior for other students and teachers.”344
It also discourages schools from including the words “mother” or “father” on any paperwork or questionnaires. “Make sure that forms do not have specific spaces for ‘mother’ and ‘father.’ If a form requires the name(s) of legal caregivers(s), the form can just say ‘parent,’ ‘guardian,’ or ‘caregiver.’” It also suggests to, “avoid asking students to identify as male or female unless it is absolutely necessary.”345
The ADL (Anti-Defamation League), a Jewish “civil rights” organization, issued identical recommendations to make classrooms “inclusive for all families,” saying, “As a school, evaluate the messages you convey through language, policies and procedures. Re-think forms, permissions slips and other procedures that explicitly ask for ‘mother’ and ‘father’ identifying information. Instead, change these designations to parent/guardian across the board. In talking with children, use terms like parents and guardians or adult family members rather than mothers and fathers.”346
