Canada passed a law Thursday making it illegal to use the wrong gender pronouns. Critics say that Canadians who do not subscribe to progressive gender theory could be accused of hate crimes, jailed, fined, and made to take anti-bias training. Canada’s Senate passed Bill C-16, which puts “gender identity” and “gender expression” into both the country’s Human Rights Code, as well as the hate crime category of its Criminal Code by a vote of 67-11, according to LifeSiteNews. The bill now only needs royal assent from the governor general. “Great news,” announced Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister. “Bill C-16 has passed the Senate — making it illegal to discriminate based on gender identity or expression. #LoveisLove.” https://stream.org/canada-passes-law-criminalizing-use-of-wrong-gender-pronouns/ Under this law, it is a criminal offense punishable by up to 2 years in prison if you call someone by a pronoun relative to gender different than what the person wants you to say. So, for example, if you said publicly that "Katlyn Jenner is not a woman, HE is still a man" if the USA had this new Canadian law you could be imprisoned for two years. You additionally could be sued by the aggrieved person and fined. You also can be sentenced to government psychological re-programming sessions you have to attend until you confess your crime and will swear that Jenner is a "she."

Well, in my book that is crossing of the line. Pretty much same bullshιt as out blasphemy law, and likely to be used for same bullshιt causes - to appease to small local groups, silence bloggers and have political PR.
Commies can only force and punish folks to subdue their new insanity, never convince to do something. According to medical recherche most of liberals are insane and severely mentally ill. Just imagine still 'clients' of lunatic asylums thirty years ago they are siting and parliaments and force folks to fulfill their insane fantasies.
This has been in the pipeline for ages. Lecturer and philosopher Jordan Peterson has been fighting a long battle against this ****ing insanity.
This does seem unreasonable. Were I to have to deal with it, I think I would try to develop a personal habit and business policy to not use pronouns. I have no problem with someone identifying themselves however they like, but making it a crime to get that identification wrong... I don't see the value in that policy.
E-e-exactly. A bullshιt law for a bullshιt result. Nobody needs it but few activists and politicians who get a neat sweet leverage they can use against people.
