Almost half of millennials believe using the incorrect pronouns for a transgender person should be considered a criminal offense.
A survey, conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies for Newsweek suggested that among those aged between 25-34, 44 percent were in favor of the idea while just 31 percent disagreed.
The remaining 25 percent of those responding to the survey either expressed no clear opinion or simply stated that they didn't know.
Similar sentiments were found among those aged 35-44. In that group, 38 percent appeared to be in favor of criminalizing misgendering someone while 35 percent were against.
About one quarter - 26 percent - were either unsure or did not express an opinion.
Millennials are defined as those having been born between 1981 and 1996, making them between 27 and 42 years old today.
Generation Z includes those born between 1997 and 2012, who would now be aged between 11 and 26 years old.
The idea of criminalizing misgendering pronouns comes a several Republican-controlled states have passed laws banning certain medical procedures and treatments for minors.
Kentucky and Tennessee are among the 20 states, all with Republican-controlled legislatures, that have passed laws banning use of puberty blockers and hormones as part of gender transition for patients under 18.
Such treatments, known as gender-affirming care, are supported by major U.S. medical associations. Proponents of the bans say they are experimental and endanger children.
Families say the laws discriminate against transgender people and take away parents' right to make medical decisions for their children.
Federal courts in Arkansas, Alabama, Florida and Indiana have blocked similar bans on transgender healthcare for minors.
The issue has also come to the fore through the likes of 26-year-old trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney who has been at the center of a scandal this year...

‘Almost half of millennials think misgendering someone should be a CRIMINAL offense, new survey finds’
This is outrageous and unexcusable in the land of free speech.
Or me, for that matter.
This way idiocy lies.
Espousing and promoting wokeness should be a criminal offense, and acts of domestic terrorism to support work agendas ought to be a capital offense.
Wonder how they feel about that.
Coincidentally, in a town I recently heard of, 9 out 10 residents though anyone claiming to be something other than male or female should receive 20 lashes from the religious police. Well, we want diversity, let’s have diversity of opinions. But just opinions.
THIS HOT GARBAGE IS BAIT AND YOU’RE BITING. The same data can be reworded to say “An even larger MAJORITY (62%) of millenials than disapprove of the president (60%) think misgendering is NO BIG DEAL. Please stop diluting news and your reputation with deceptive conservative clickbait
Pronouns do not belong to the person being spoken too. They belong to the person speaking. This is a First Amendment free speech issue. YOU can not force me to utter words I do not wish to speak.
I’m not sure it should be criminal, but anyone who misgenders someone, calling a man a woman because he puts on a dress, should be ridiculed to the point of exile.
I suspect most have no idea what “misgendering” is!
My BS meter just pegged.
As Reagan said, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
Instead of pronouns I just use adjectives when referring to some people.
“This is outrageous and unexcusable in the land of free speech.”
Newsweek commissioned poll. Take it for what it is worth, which is nothing.
And normal people believe three quarters of millennials are severely retarded with no cure.
