Canada has reasonable limits on free speech . Imagine a man with feminine traits is consistently referred to as a woman by his employer , because he just doesn ' t look like a man . This would constitute harassment under the Human Rights Code in Canada though , still not hate speech , and his employer could be ' forced ' to use the proper pronoun . The only thing Bill C 16 is changing is that it extends the privilege of being referred to by your correct pronoun to those who don ' t fit within the established gender dichotomy . Though I do believe that it is not reasonable to allow everyone to make up any new pronoun as they please , I feel that a standard gender neutral pronoun would solve the issue nicely . <| sep |> Exactly why I stopped listening to it , same goes for 99 pi
