    Very dangerous and uncons utional indeed. I expect SCOTUS 5.5 to crack this down, 6-3 at worst.

    Michigan House passes bill that could make using wrong pronouns a felony, fineable up to $10,000

    Under the new bill, 'intimidating' an individual in regards to their gender iden y can result in prison time or a $10,000 fine

    A recently passed bill in Michigan could make it a felony to intimidate someone by intentionally using the wrong gender pronouns, according to some legal experts.
    Michigan's state House of Representatives has passed bill HB 4474, a piece of legislation that criminalizes causing someone to feel threatened by words.
    Under the new bill, offenders are "guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or by a fine of not more than $10,000."


    "'Intimidate' means a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened," the bill reads.
    The bill specifically addresses "sexual orientation" and "gender iden y or expression" as protected classes.
    According to the bill, "'Gender iden y or expression' means having or being perceived as having a gender-related self-iden y or expression whether or not associated with an individual's assigned sex at birth."
    Critics are accusing the bill of violating the First Amendment.
    "Make no mistake about it. Those advocating for this legislation will wield these policies as a weapon capable of destroying conservative expression or viewpoints grounded in the sacred," Distinguished Professor Emeritus William Wagner told media outlet The Daily Wire.

    Stop being obtuse. It isn't cute, and it adds nothing to the thread.

    what's described sounds like an aggravated form of a commonplace offence -- harrassment.

    Not a one time thing.
    So lighten up.

    OTOH wonder if they will attempt to force teachers to to call Bob "Suzy" and if they rightly refuse, will "Suzys" attempt to press charges using this bill?
