    Oh no, protection against compelled speech. What will we ever do?

            Requiring respect for your peers isn’t compelled speech either. Don’t respect your co-workers? Enjoy not having your job anymore.

            You do have a choice:

            1. Respect your peers/coworkers

            2. Find employment elsewhere

              Employers are free to do as they like, so long as it isn’t with government money. Here’s the preamble of the bill

              To prohibit the use of funds to implement, administer, or enforce measures requiring certain employees to refer to an individual by the preferred pronouns of such indi￾vidual or a name other than the legal name of such individual, and for other purposes.

                Yeah, that’s stupid, because it would allow for misgendering/failing to use the correct pronouns of cis people. So even if you’re in the “trans people are delusional” bigotry camp, it is still a dumb law. Men could be called she/her, and women could be called he/him with no recourse.

                Basic respect for people isn’t that hard.

                  Good. The government should have no place compelling speech

                    Agreed. Good thing forcing employees to have basic respect isn’t forced speech, which makes this law stupid.

                Someone has the right to follow the 1st amendment.

                And they can choose to use their speech for good (keep job) or not (lose job). Either way their speech is still their own choice, therefore not compelled.

                I get as a fascist

                I’m not the one voting for a guy who basically quotes Hitler and uses Hitler’s playbook. That’s you. You’re just projecting.

                    No you voted for the guy who was supported by the Neo-Nazis.

                    No I didn’t.

                    As I clearly pointed out, we are not required to do that at work.

                    Good for you.

                    You are trying to force compliance like a fascist.

                    As I’ve already explained, it isn’t forced.
