This is complete violation of the 1st Amendment. A government cannot jail or fine someone for their free speech.

Free speech only applies to professional athletes.

This will be upheld by the 9th, and overturned by the Supremes. You can fire them, but not prosecute them,

In the meantime, creative souls in the nursing homes will be coming up with a raft of new ways they will be required to be addressed.

The number of Princes, Queens, Kings, Your Majesties, Dukes, Duchesses, and even Dorks, Dimwits, and Dunces will multiply like rabbits in CA nursing homes. And they will be addressed as such, under penalty of law. Next, CA legislators will address how often one can change one’s way of being addressed, for some residents will prefer to change theirs frequently.

Liberals are just short on brain cells. That becomes clearer the more control they gain. Fortunately, wherever they manage to gain power, they end up governing over an ever-shrinking pie.

That is illegal and unconstitutional. Doesn’t matter if they have a law. That law is invalid and not binding.

"to use a transgender resident’s preferred name"

So if I decide that I want to be called "Supercalifragilicousexpialidocious" it is ILLEGAL for someone to call me something else?

Does this law ONLY apply to transgenders or to us "normies" as well?

Seems unconstitutional on its face on *several* levels.

“”refuse “to use a transgender resident’s preferred name or pronouns” can be slapped with a $1,000 fine and up to one year in prison, according to the California Heath and Safety code””

I’ve said it once and I’ll keep saying it - how many residents of nursing homes are confused about who/what they are? Well, maybe because of their health problems as they aged but certainly NOT because they decided they weren’t going to be GRANDPA or GRANDMA any longer but were going to switch that around!

“You’re “grandpa” - “NO, I’m grandma..”

Do we have to wait for this to get any nuttier?

The law’s effect is limited to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities

The jokes write themselves. . . What if grandma forgets what gender she assigned herself yesterday? Can we jail her today?

And I guess that also means a court-appointed administrator--an employee of the state--can assign sexes when the gender-ee is not legally competent.

As you know, this is just a camel's-nose move by the gender-assignment-Gestapo to establish a legal precedent in a land where no one is compos mentis enough to object. Pivoting on that, they hope to claim the power of gender-assignment crime and punishment over the other 300 million of us. Maybe the whole world. Isn't Progressiveness fun?

It’s not free speech when you’re in a contractual situation, which it is in this case, since you are in a licensed institution as an employee. As stupid as the law is it will probably hold up under judicial review.

The only way issues like this and baking cakes and serving people etc... will get resolved in the favor of people’s personal beliefs and opinions is if there is some type of sweeping ruling that incorporates freedom of association and speech within business licensing code OR if the argument derives from the common municiple code wording that “nothing within this code shall be construed as to deny anyone their constitutional rights” and the individual uses that as a basis to refuse to enter into the licensing contract in the first place.

No such thing as a “transgender”. Just people who can’t figure out their plumbing. We need to quit surrendering to the liberals control over the words. How many people now call bruce jenner caitlyn? Or bradley manning chelsea. Both have XY chromosomes, which makes them male; not men, but male.

Words spoken that are not intentional to be harmful can land you in jail.

The only option is to not communicate with "they"
Avoid "they" because your life does depend on it.
Laws that create segregation. Typical.
