In a vote of 59-50, the bill was successfully passed by the Democrat-controlled state House and now moves to the Democrat-controlled State Senate, where it will likely pass, and inevitably Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will sign it.

KISS the tourist industry GOOD BYE

[Republican Wildcat]

Elect Democrats and see what happens.

This should be nationalized.

[j_guru]

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer…
Who does he think he is?

[Magnum44]

Arrest me.

[Tench_Coxe]

You know whats going to happen next if it becomes law. Much like the baker in Colorado, or elsewhere, sickos will go out to bait people and then get them arrested.

ummm... first amendment

[eyeamok]

If I declare my pronouns to be
“Creepy Ass Cracker”, and they refuse to use it I can have them Arrested and Charged for Mean Speech, and if the Do use it I can have them Charged with a Racist Hate Crime??

I’ve never met Miss Gendering.
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I’d rather see than be one!

Hard to feel sorry for the people of Michigan. They voted for it and welcomed it..

Those accused of misgendering people could potentially get their sentence reduced if they submit to woke re-education.

Of course this is totally unconstitutional and will eventually be struck down. But that could take years and in the meantime how many folks will be fined and/or jailed because some phagg gets it’s feewings hurt.

Imagine standing a line at the ball game waiting to buy a beer. You are talking to your neighbor about how his daughter brought home a phreak with pink hair and multiple piercings. You say “So was that loser a kwheer?” Unbeknownst to either of you the guy behind you overhears your conversation and leaves the line. Next thing you know you are being handcuffed and taken to in-stadium judge (this is Philadelphia after all) where a citation is issued saying that you have 10 days to appear in court and be ready to cough up $10,000. Jail time may follow. You are fooked and to top it off, you will never know who reported you because in civil cases the right to face your accuser is not guaranteed.

Here is a thought ... if the judge and the person who reported the conversation split the fine, you have the beginnings of very profitable cottage industry.

Michigan Could Put You in Prison for ‘Misgendering’

As opposed to Mistergendering? Missusgendering? Mizgendering? Reverenddoctorgendering?

When you enter a church, you sing an introit. When you leave, you sing a detroit. There will be lots of detroiting.

[kenmcg]

Every free thinking person in Michigan should designate “Misgendering Day” and call people what you want.

Are misgendering misgivings fully forgiven on Tanksgiving?

[linMcHlp]

Government agents who lie, are a protected class.

[IamConservative]

Would a person’s evidence of being mis-pronouned be considered hearsay?

[sima_yi]

We identify as a differently-abled, Black, Spanish surnamed Native American lesbian woman trapped in the body of a cis-gendered heteronormative White male of age and of size (for those not conversant in Newspeak, that means old and fat).
Our pronouns are 2werxxcp% and uyt4&nnvbl; if you do not use them, or mispronounce them, you will be guilty of ThoughtCrime and HateSpeech. (oh, and by the way, the pronouns may change without advance notice at any time.)

“continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened,”

Key phrase - No reasonable individual would feel terrorized by being called the wrong title.
