NEW YORK CITY, May 19, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – New York City’s human rights commission says it will fine New York employers and landlords up to $250,000 for using the wrong pronoun to refer to a transgender person. The New York City Commission on Human Rights’ “Guidance on Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Expression” interprets existing human rights laws against discrimination based on gender to include gender expression, defined as “actual or perceived sex and shall also include a person’s gender identity, self-image, appearance, behavior or expression,” regardless of someone’s biological sex. The guidance extends protections preventing, for example, landlords from refusing to rent to women, so that now they can’t refuse to rent to women who say they are men, regardless of how they present. However, the “guidance” goes further by adding to the list of offences that of “intentional or repeated refusal to use an individual’s preferred name, pronoun or title. For example, repeatedly calling a transgender woman ‘him’ or ‘Mr’ after she has made clear which pronouns and title she uses.” For any of these human rights offences, the maximum fine is $125,000, unless the offence is “the result of willful, wanton, or malicious conduct” – in which case the maximum is $250,000.

States rights run amok to impose oppression - AGAIN.
Those clowns need to start having "accidents". Like stepping in front of a bus, or a train, jumping from buildings, etc! Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
New York values.
A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. What fuels the tyranny is the inaction of the citizens to challenge these unconstitutional state and city edicts.
What also fuels it, what makes it so PARTICULARLY bad in America, is that Americans have fetishized the concept of "The Rule of Law" to the point that it is, for all practical purposes, an idol. The thought that when things are too crazy and stupid that one simply ignores process and law and, as a group, runs roughshod over bad law, nullifying it by simple straightforward defiance, without genuflecting to the altar of "We must work within the system to CHANGE it" actually strikes horror into American hearts. But it's the way bad laws are overturned all over the world. When things become ridiculous, people simply disregard the law and work together to override it, ignore it - and don't feel guilty about it. Americans have idolized the law to the point that lawbreaking - of bad law - is viewed by Americans as a SIN. This is stupid. And it means that Americans go much, much farther down the road to willingly accepting all sorts of oppression than many other people normally do. This aspect of America won't change. It's very deeply ingrained. It's like the Middle Eastern fetish for full prostration before ancient kings and divine beings.
All we need to have one New Yorker take this commission on. The punishment does not meet the severity of the "crime" ... as if it is a crime.
