More millennials think referring to a transgender person by the wrong pronouns should be a criminal offense than think it should be legal, according to new polling conducted exclusively for Newsweek. According to the survey by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, 44 percent of those aged 25-34 think "referring to someone by the wrong gender pronoun (he/him, she/her) should be a criminal offense," versus just 31 percent who disagree. The remainder "neither agree nor disagree" or "don't know."

Anybody that doesn't like it can go F themselves.

Referring to a respondent to that survey as a moron should be a criminal offense. Do you agree or disagree?

Being a millennial should be a crime. If you want to identify as a sea slug go ahead but DO NOT expect me to play along with your Twilight Zone fantasy. How in the hell am I suppose to know who you are pretending to be on any given day? When I wake up in the morning I do not need to look in my pants or have a conversation with my "other selves" to decide which pronouns I wish to be using that day. I have work to do, places to go, things to do and I have no interest in your mental illness. Sorry but you are mentally ill and you cannot make me change my mind. Participation trophies will not be awarded to the stupid.

They are exactly right. It should be a crime to call some pretender like Lia Thomas or Dylan Mulvaney she or her, thereby obviously misgendering them.

So I think I’m Napoleon so everyone has to magically know that and treat me accordingly? Time for Millennials to grow up before they lose all credibility and, with that, respect.

It is never the child’s fault that is raised poorly. Perhaps our generations were too busy worshiping money and sex to properly raise the children. “Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.” Note to self.

How does a person tell unless they wear a sign. I already have an idea for my sign. I wonder if it’s
legal? I’m sick and tired of these spoiled brats calling all the shots. How we think. How we talk. What we have to believe. Just fed up.

First Amendment, Asshats! We all have the right to be offended and offensive. And no Law that conflicts with the Constitution is a legal law.
You are teetering on the brink of destruction due to your persistent and selfish tyranny.

Nobody can be expected to remember everyone's name, let alone the pretend gender that goes counter to everything that is reasonable.
You look like a guy... you're a guy. Look like a woman, you are a woman. If you look like a guy trying to look like a woman... maybe I can muster up "that person over there" to save face, but I will not call anyone a gender that I know damn well they aren't.
It's too much to keep up with.

Are they going to tattoo their preferred pronouns on their foreheads so we will know? Expecting people to be mind readers is absolutely idiotic, but then it is the millennials.

Someone should tell our "young heads of mush" that they're on a collision course with the 1970's, whose Sci-Fi films oft claimed how one day, we'd each be given our very own, "special number," by our political overlords by which we would each be known. No more Christian and Family names, and everyone dons the same Uni-Sex clothing.

1) I identify as a person who does not use correct pronouns.
2) If in a situation where you HAVE to use the 'right' one, the Universal Pronoun covers the entire field.
"She-He-It"... but you have to say it really fast.

How often now do we run into people that we cannot identify as male or female ?
Do we say Ma'am, Sir, or WHAT ? You sure cannot tell by the myriad tattoos.
"Good morning, HUMAN " sounds about right.

Michigan is about to make it a crime. That goes against the constitution, but Dems have never cared about that. The first will go to jail and will be exonerated by the courts and the law will be struck down. Not sure if that guarantees a productive lawsuit. We'll see.

I fully agree that misgenderting should be made a crime: Strictly Male for XY DNA and strictly Female for XX DNA. The very rare variation to those TWO combinations, are nothing more than an aberrant mutation of Nature, and thus cannot biologically function as one or the other. Anyone with one or other of those TWO combinations is commiting an Intellectual and factual claim against the laws of nature and biology if be claims to be of the "alternate" gender. Surgical and chemcial self mutilation/castration/hytserctomies and mastectomies followed by plastic organ substitutions CANNOT change that FACT OF LIFE.

Sue me. I will determine by pitch of voice, amount of leg and facial hair, subject and square footage of tattoos, number of piercings in your face and the color and amount of hair dye what to call you - if I bother to speak to you at all. If you come in to apply for a job I will call out, "Next!"

A male who calls himself a female is misgendering himself.
