Nork City's new rules on transgender rights could bring about hefty fines for businesses and landlords who don't use the right pronouns for their workers and tenants.
According to guidelines recently released by the New York Commission on Human Rights, failure to recognize a person's preferred gender can result in fines of $125,000 for unintentional acts or $250,000 if the offense is intentional.
Among the offenses that could bring a fine:
Repeatedly using a pronoun or name not preferred by the transgendered person even if official identification shows a different name and gender.
Requiring a transgendered employee to wear a gender specific uniform of the gender not identified with or to require female employees to wear makeup or prevent male employees from doing so.
Requiring all men to wear ties before being allowed to dine in a restaurant.

This has got to be bullshit. I am not responsible for what another person THINKS. How am I to know what they think today? Maybe yesterday they thought they were a man and today they think they are a woman. Maybe tomorrow they will think they are a dog. We have got to put an end to this Government nonsense!
Agreed. This will be enforced in a VERY selective manner. Businesses and individuals will be targeted for destruction using this as a mechanism.
Identify as a dog and don’t pay taxes because dogs don’t pay taxes
hmmmm
I feeling fluid today. Maybe I'll run up to NYC and get misidentifed a few times. At $125,000 a pop for unintentional offenses, I can get rich quick.
Not that anyone would ever actually try to game the system is such a way ....
Are bottom feeding law firms running tv ads yet?
NYC epitomizes all that can go wrong if decent people let it happen.

The city is getting what it voted for. Elections have consequences, as the liberals like to say.
Great opportunity for shakedown artists.

Good point. The grievance industry will thrive in this “new market” of opportunities.
It’s a gross violation of the First Amendment and the idiots responsible for this ought to be fired and sued to oblivion for such attempts to silence speech and reality.
But the central socialist government and that particular city’s mayor is complicit in this bizarre edict.
PROSECUTION: "Ladies and gentlemen [if that wouldn't get you arrested], the defendant openly admits to calling a man "HIM," and referring to a female colleague as "SHE!" What more vile, despicable act can one human being perpetrate on another?? I ask you, find this fiend guilty and put him away where he cannot harm another gender-confused person."
DEFENSE: "You have the option of deciding in favor of twisted political correctness or common sense. I'll leave it to you."
Every time you think it cant possibly get more insane...

If there’s any silver cloud in this insanity its that liberalism is probably nearing the point of its own self-destruction. They have pushed society way to far, without showing any consideration for its effects on, or disruption to, others. They always want more and don’t care how it effects anyone else. Moreover, their agenda is taking on an increasing tone of mean spirited aggressiveness.
In the process of this accelerated push of their perverted agenda they are likely exhausting any sympathies or tolerance they may once have enjoyed from a largely passive populace. Now people are seeing just how crazy and dangerous they really are. Perceptions and tolerance are shifting against this insanity.
Bookmark under insanity.
Its a gross violation of the First Amendment

You are absolutely right of course. But liberals don’t care about the Constitution. They want what they want.
So some 18 year old kid working at Mcdonald’s calls you Ma’am and yhry get hit with $125K fee.
I look nothing like a man but have had people slip because they were busy and when they look up they correct themselves and say sorry. I have done it myself.
This law is way worse than Big Gulp law.
The standard response to such individuals should be “Get outta here, you effin’ queer”!
What is there to be "proud" of? Or is it just a childish over-compensation for the fact that you're anything BUT proud?
For those who pushed and passed it...Are there no ropes? Are there no lampposts?
Simple, call everyone “Comrade”
$250K????
Easily cruel and unusual punishment.
Perhaps those confused sick ones who feel as though their body is possessed by an opposite sex should have Transvestite tattooed on their perverted foreheads.
