    Again though - the legislation is there. You’re simply saying that because the source is a company that you don’t like that the information they’re reporting on is wrong, which is false.

    I don’t know what sources reporting on the same actual legislation you’ll accept? I didn’t go to fox news to find it, i just googled it and that was the top name i recognized of the dozens of sites reporting it. Again - it’s in the legislation. It’s not a rumour, it’s not “fake news”.

    “Gender identity or expression means having or being perceived as having a gender-related self-identity or expression whether or not associated with an individual’s assigned sex at birth.”

    This was specifically added in to the bill when adding them as a “protected class”. The legislation introduced hate crime penalties for causing a person to “feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened,” regarding “sexual orientation” and “gender identity or expression.”

    Here’s an msn one: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/michigan-residents-could-be-charged-with-a-felony-and-fined-up-to-10000-over-wrong-pronouns/ss-AA1dibuC#image=1

    Is MSN acceptable for you? Got a list of approved websites that report on legislations?

          Oh, how about that. So, that slideshow only quotes the same “expert” as the fox news did.

          Here are links to the actual legislation:

          You’re relying on one bigoted alarmist’s deliberate misinterpretation of the law.

            The law specifically puts “gender identity” as a protected class for this legislation. Why do you think that is?

              Because they… want them to be protected by the law?

                Now put that together with the context of these hate speech law changes and you see what that means?

                  It means they’re protected by the law. Not this sky-is-falling nonsense from one guy whose job it is to scream sky-is-falling nonsense.

                    Right, so the changes they made to the law mean that someone can be charged for misgendering…….which is the point that you guys are saying isn’t true.
