NYC Mayor Wants To Fine Businesses Who Don’t Use Transgender Pronouns Such As “Ze” Or “Zir”

We learned this week that Hizzonor Bill de Blasio has yet another plan to entrench the city in “transgender” warfare and make sure that business owners are made to toe the line on political correctness.

Under this latest scheme, any business which greets someone using a pronoun not matching the gender (or lack thereof) the customer “identifies” as could face a stiff fine in court.

I always thought that ‘it’ worked well in cases where the sex is irrelevant.

Pronouns can largely be avoided.

That is NOT the issue!

To paraphrase Martin Niemöller, with no disrespect meant:

"First DeBlasio came for the 16 oz Drinks, then the Pronouns, then Castrate the White Tailed Deer, then castrate the white..."

DeBlasio, excuse me, His Excellency, Most High King DeBlasio is the problem.

"... A supervisor could tell an employee, “Help that person over there.” Pronouns can largely be avoided."

Uh huh, right up until a customer who self-identifies as Dragonkin or Tigerkin vociferously objects to being called a person.

This crap is a mental disorder and now the loony left wants to change your vocabulary to meet their needs.

I am almost getting the feeling that we have to stop this craziness at what ever the cost or accept defeat, call them whatever they wish, and while we are at it, let Men who do not even look like Women use the female public restroom and all single males even on FR taking a Mexican wife and speaking Spanish for life.

As usual, the Chinese, with their ancient civilization and the wisdom of Confucius, have developed a solution.

Surprisingly, the sounds in their language is strangely similar to "Noo Yawk" speech.

The Chinese use the term, Hei Yu to address all people.

The plural is Hei Yus Gaiz

DeBlasio is a joke.

Hitler was a joke?
Stalin was a joke?
Mao was a joke?
Caligula was a joke?

Me thinks DeBlasio has aspirations to join that elite group of 'comedians'!

Completely infringes the First Amendment.

DeBlasio is such a troll, and a poor one at that.

It is time for the thought nazis to be taken out.

Not kidding. The encroachment on individual rights and liberties is too great.

Just the liberal bastions. Most everyone else are sane, hardworking Americans.

Avoiding pronouns will surely be added as an actionable offence once it becomes evident that it is becoming widespread.

With all due respect to NYC mayor, please consider the following.

Noting that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect LGBT issues, what the constitutionally low-information mayor is unthinkingly wanting to do with respect forcing the LGBT agenda on NYC business owners would not only effectively violate the Founding States' prohibition on the states establishing protected / privileged classes, but he would also be violating Section 1 of the !4th Amendment where 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech is concerned imo.

Remember in November !

They’re pulling this nonsense in Chicago public schools. The kids will be laughing their butts off. Probably not the best place to implement it.

How is one supposed to know if they’re man or woman?

Reminds me of the sixties. The older crown didn’t like us younger guys wearing our hair long. Said we looked like girls. Some did.
