From the sound of things, misgendering a trans individual could put you in personal jeopardy. Trans activists are not looking for tolerance. They are demanding acceptance. They are also demanding that you address them according to their personally chosen gender and the madness is growing. The city of Dallas has mandated personal pronoun use, regardless of your beliefs. England's Oxford college is threatening to expel those who fail to use the proper pronouns.
But we don't want to talk about things like this
On October 26, 2022, a transgender student flung away his ladylike façade and beat up a fifteen-year-old sophomore in the girl’s bathroom. Her mother, Theresa Gooden, has responded by suing Edmond Memorial High School in Oklahoma, where the incident took place.No, misgendering is the real danger. In fact, it is regarded in some places as an "act of violence."
The University of Colorado (Boulder) is under fire this week for a statement on the “Pride Office” website stating that misgendering people can be considered an “act of violence.”If misgendering is an act of violence, are the offended allowed to respond with violence? Are they allowed to use lethal force in responding?The guide on pronouns is reportedly the work of students associated with the office and states that “choosing to ignore or disrespect someone’s pronouns is not only an act of oppression but can also be considered an act of violence.”
Then there is the issue of proper gendering which may not be as easy as you think. For example:

Our speech is violence, and their violence is speech.
What a bunch of crybabies. That’s all they do, act like babies! These freaks need to grow up!
Indeed.
Repent while their is still time. God may still here from us if we truly repent.
everyone knows not to upset the mental patients
They ‘misgender’ themselves and if I don’t play along with their fantasies...I’m the violent one?
Then I’m one violent mf’r.
Sick to death of this bs.
I think they just want to be called queers.
Headed straight to Scotus one day soon
They could have gone about their business and few would care. They have opened this can of worms. You want violence? Bring it, faggies. You will wish for the good old days when all you had to do to be left alone was to keep your mouth shut. I would lose no sleep if decent society rose up and put this movement down with great malice.
“Our speech is violence, and their violence is speech.”
Looks like it wood make a good slogan for the camp gate ...
Speech is violence ... Violence is speech
I am looking forward to my re-education ... life will be so much simpler without all this “independent” thought.
Happening here.
Dallas city council’s warning to workers: Use preferred pronouns or risk being fired

I call ‘em as I see ‘em.
Folks gotta stand up for objective truth.
Chopping off a tool, or wearing a dress does not a women make.
Your pronouns are your concern, not mine.
This will continue to get even more “spicy”.
Unless we simply stand on truth.
It’s NOT us who are violent. It’s the sexual weirdo’s who use violence, lies, and bullying.
THEY also are the people attacking Target shelves... and starting fights in the girl’s bathrooms etc.
You seem to think it’s 1968... Are you older than Biden?
Helluva thing for the mentally ill to lose their lives over.
how and when i address someone, is still a matter of my own choosing.
Which titles, surnames, courtesy titles of speech, or more base adjectives, will be assigned by me as courteous or non-courteous an individual displays themself to be.
Anything less, or any instrument devised by any municipality,is an encroachment on free speech.
Note: should any American citizen feel slighted, due to the respondent party’s not being informed, before the word or greeting is evoked, at that momenyt in time, the slighted party demonstrates their “I.D.10.T Quotient”!
Well put.
