    Did you even read your boogey man bill or just take Fox News as gods word? The bill only says someone is guilty of a felony if they cause damage, bodily harm, or threaten a person because of sexual identity. It just adds a protection to people who are being victimize for a specific aspect of their identity.

    As long as you weren’t planning on any hate crimes you can misgender people as much as you want in Michigan. It makes you an asshole, but not a felon.

    If you would like to read the bill you’re parroting bullshit about, I can link you to the actual text of it on Michigan’s website so you don’t have to be scared of going to jail for misgendering someone anymore.

    Again unless you’re planning a hate crime against them. Then you’re n asshole and a felon. Because hate crimes are bad. That’s not a political thing right? Like damaging someone’s property or body is illegal all the time. It’s just more illegal when you do it intentionally because of an aspect of their identity. I mean you don’t think it’s okay to assault disabled folks because of their disability?

      It’s if they feel threatened. Just like they feel something they’re not, their feelings on this shouldn’t be the litmus test.

        I’m not trying to other anyone or generalize at all. But posting a link to a Fox News article and saying it’s a felony to misgender someone without even reading the bill makes the oc look so ignorant. It’s such an us vs them mentality. It makes me sick. We could work together to improve the world but we spend so much energy fighting each other instead over made up boogeymen.
