- jfaucett 10y agoThe idea (which is now becoming law in some places such as Canada [1]) is that some people do not identify as male and female but rather as something inbetween. So if you refer to them using the words 'he' or 'she' then that is an act of violence against them. The laws enacted then fine you if you refuse to use whatever pronoun they prefer in place of 'he' or 'she'. [2] Some examples are ze,them, zer, etc. 1. https://youtu.be/kasiov0ytEc https://youtu.be/kasiov0ytEc 2. http://nypost.com/2016/05/19/city-issues-new-guidelines-on-transgender-pronouns/ http://nypost.com/2016/05/19/city-issues-new-guidelines-on-t...
