This ought to stir the pot among our liberal friends.
It is now illegal to refer to a transgender individual in NYC by the "wrong" name or pronoun. In the workplace, if a worker informs the employer that he/she/it wants to be referred to as he/she/it or a specific name, the employer faces a $125,000 fine in they or other employees don't comply. The individual does not need to have surgery to lop anything off or tunnel anything in, just the "intent" to change gender. They can change their mind anytime they want, so someone can tell the boss they want to be called Stephen this week, then change it to Stephanie next week. He can be a she in January and she can be a he in February. And the employer and other employees are expected to keep this straight? (no pun intended). In addition, any complaint to the NYC Human Rights Commission becomes a he said/it said issue. This also extends to customers as well. And I thought it was bad when the Univ. of Maryland required the Freshman (yes, not PC term and I don't care) class choose from over 100 gender identities that they want to be classified under.
I suggest we use the pronoun "fk" to universally address these people, which stands for freakazoid. Everything should be OK as long as the circus is not in the 5 boroughs.
