The "it is illegal to use the wrong pronoun" interpretation is only widely accepted by those who have trouble with the definition of the word "discrimination". If I use the wrong pronoun when referring to someone it might rise to the level of harassment if I do it deliberately and repeatedly. It can't be a violation of an anti-discrimination law because it isn't discrimination.
- tomohawk 9y agoI see. So If I insist that my pronoun is "his majesty" and others don't use it, that would be harassment? http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/29230/ http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/29230/ For those of us who think that objective reality is more important than what someone's feelings may or may not be, this imposition of a speech code is clearly harassment.
- aalleavitch 9y agoNo. That wouldn't be harassment. Here is the Canadian legal definition of harassment: https://www.crcvc.ca/docs/crimharass.pdf https://www.crcvc.ca/docs/crimharass.pdf Now, if I repeatedly followed you around, loudly mocking you and your use of "his majesty" and interfering with your life, then yes that would be harassment.
