...the new guidelines speak to such specifics as balking at using the personal pronoun of someone's choice - "Ms." or "Mr.," for instance. Commission officials say they understand there can be honest mistakes, but repeating them, refusing to correct them or ridiculing the person can be a violation.

So you can be fined a quarter of a million dollars if you call a guy "Mr." more than once, if he objects to it.

Sigh...

Sounds like the law coerces speech.
