The Problem with Christians

[AJW333]

Oh OK. Sure this is often the case with scientific breakthroughs, the discoverer is usually given a bunch of grief when he suggests changing the status quo. However, that said, there is a heap of junk science being put out there by people with an agenda. Just take a look at some of the fines dished out to drug companies in the last few years. Merck lied about the safety of Vioxx and it killed 27,000 people. This earned them a $850 million fine and $5 billion in compensation. Trust the science? Trust your doctor? Not in this case.

So, is there a downside to the LGBT agenda? Absolutely! This can be seen by the draconian penalties served to silence all dissent. If you were brought up being taught that genetics and sex organs were the determining factors for gender and you stick by that science, it could cost you everything you have,

"Did you call a transsexual person “he” or “she” when they preferred to be called “zhe?” According to a newly updated anti-discrimination law in New York City, you could be fined an eye-watering $250,000.
In the latest, astonishing act of draconian political correctness, the NYC Commission on Human Rights have updated a law on “Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Expression” to threaten staggering financial penalties against property owners who “misgender” employees or tenants.
Incidents that are deemed “wilful and malicious” will see property owners face up to $250,000 in fines, while standard violations of the law will result in a $125,000 fine. For small business owners, these sums are crippling.

It’s not as simple as referring to transmen “he” or transwomen as “she,” either. The legislation makes it clear that if an individual desires, property owners will have to make use of “zhe,” “hir” and any other preferred pronoun.

Anyone who is an advocate of free speech and freedom of thought should be deeply disturbed by this Nazi like behaviour.

Not sure what this has to do with what we were talking about....but ok...

I agree that such rules on the malicious intent of speech are against the generally upheld free speech, defended by the international bill of human rights... I'd be curious to see what happens if someone contests that in NY.

In order to uphold a penalty like that, you would have to rewrite all the biology books concerning the definition of gender. How could you fine someone 250k for insisting that the science books are correct and that people with gender dysphoria are incorrect? If the folks here are serious about science, how could they not view the re-defining of gender as completely unscientific?
