Because hate speech laws generally wouldn't cover the President or the things journalists are saying about him. They're not general UK style defamation/libel laws.
- frockington1 7y agoSaying about 'him' as today he goes by 'xi'. You just used the wrong pronoun for today and will need to toss this piece of bigotry out. I don't believe this, making an exaggerated point demonstrating how any type of censorship can easily be abused
- rtkwe 7y agoGiven we're now in a hypothetical where a non-binary person is in the White House I think we've collectively advanced miles as a country. Also what HC laws suggested even come close to outlawing accidental misgendering?
- frockington1 7y agoMy hypothetical was that now the president can claim to be non-binary or whatever gender they want, not that they actually are. But anyone who publicly disagrees would of course be violating anti-hate speech laws
- ceejayoz 7y agoAre you able to point to any hate speech law in existence that covers pronoun usage in this manner?
