Perfect!
In Wyoming, the legislature has decided, that you cannot require others to address you by your preferred pronouns โ thinking that this will only hurt trans people, Trump wants to persecute.
So citizen Britt Boril calls in to a committee meeting and deliberately misgenders the male chairman as madam, which he takes offence to โ because our rule about allowing disrespect was not meant to be used against us!
(And no, you should never misgenders others, but damnโฆ this move was brilliant)

The constituent's absolute confidence in knowing their rights contrasts brilliantly with the transphobic committee's sudden panic at their own incompetence ๐
I know misgendering is generally wrong, but if someone is literally making it illegal to demand preferred pronouns it seems totally legitimate to start testing whether they can live with the rules they are trying to impose on others.

Proof: They just passed a ban on "gun-free zones" here in Wyoming. Yes, that's right - you can wander into a school, a town hall meeting or the governor's mansion armed and be breaking no laws.
I know, right?
Here in Wyoming, we like to make our stupidity dangerous for others.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •Why should you never misgender others?
If someone has given support to misgendering, they have no reason to expect not to be misgendered.
Just as the intolerant cannot expect to be tolerated.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •Classic. To help some of Wyoming's citizens out, one could use the Mandarin pronoun "tฤ", which means "he", "she", or "it. However, in the written language, the characters are ไป๏ผๅฅน๏ผand ๅฎ respectively (with all pronounced the same). Of course, with MAGA types, you can use whichever character you like - they are mostly English only.
Oh. I forgot. the Emperor Donald (as opposed to the Emperor Norton) decreed that English is our official language, so no help from China on this one!

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •On the one hand, I love this. On the other, it comes very close to falling into the trap of "ahah, these people have used the law as a weapon inexpertly, I will trap them with the consequences of their own actions", when in reality they are using the law merely as a tool of social signaling and do not care about the structure. The rot was already present with Karl Rove and his little speech about how empires create their own realities in 2004.
Somehow, the American center-left has never really come to understand this, because it is so fundamentally at odds with the world they thought they lived in, which is part and parcel with them consistently losing ground since Goldwater.

Unknown parent • • •@benny I have a book on Amazon, The Donald Trump Phrase Book, that translates "I don't know" into 40+ languages because that's the only thing The Donald should say.
The book distinguishes American from English. In "American" it is "I dunno", with a quote from My Fair Lady (based on a George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion)
where Henry Higgins says, "There are even places were English completely disappears. In America they haven't used it for years."
