New Yorkers sure love Statists
Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill last year that will compel certain speech be used when addressing or referring to LGBTQ or trans people. It is not constitutional and will be overturned.
Legislation S.5325/A.6193 is very strange because it mandates that utility companies “allow customers to use what preferred name and pronoun they want.” I was not aware that utility companies ever forbade customers their silly pronouns and preferred names, but apparently Kathy believes this has been the case. That is just a red herring. Here is the disturbing part. She clearly thinks that failing to use the right pronouns is a problem. Where is she really going with this tyrannical diktat and her other ones that forbid, mandate, require and otherwise annoy people?
Hochul states:
“This is what we just call common sense legislation that is long overdue. For a transgender individual, being misgendered, it’s traumatic. These are people with feelings and individuals who just deserve more than that. And to know that this is going on and causing them anguish, therefore, it causes me anguish. This is how I feel so deeply and passionately about the people of this state. We have an opportunity to bring back New York City, New York State. We value individuals, we value people, and we show love, respect, and dignity to all. It’s that simple, and I know that we can do this.”
“We value individuals”? Surely the governor jokes when she says that. This is a bill that mandates certain speech and bans others. Governor “Do as you are told” has zero regard or respect for individual rights. “Rights” to Hochul are doing what the State mandates. Clearly this woman is unfit to shovel camel dung, much less hold any authority.
