What kind of people do you think you need to have in your life in order to feel comfortable and safe ? <| sep |> pls , i ' m still using a 1280 x 1024 monitor <| sep |> Where in bill C 16 does it say that you legally have to call someone by their preferred pronouns or face discrimination charges ? It doesn ' t , but by amending the human rights act in this way they leave the door open for unreasonable people to lay unfounded claims of harassment or hate speech against others where there reasonably wasn ' t any . Just look at the whole Peterson debacle . On the one side he stated a political opinion and said I ' m not going to use genderneutral pronouns in my class . That , to me , is a pretty reasonable thing to say . He may or may not be an asshole for taking that stance , but it ' s one he should reasonably be allowed to take since 99 . 9 % of people in the real world don ' t require a genderneutral pronoun . But the outrage that statement caused , people calling for his job , the university distancing themselves from him , is exactly the the outrage he ' s saying is dangerous under C 16 . They ' ve personally branded his words hate speech and when bill C 16 is passed I can all but guarantee charges will be levied against him for it and he will lose his position . Not once did he say he hated transgender or nonbinary people or advocate for violence against them , the point he is making is that their outrage is manufactured . When that is the case it makes this amendment very dangerous because everything is hate speech to them , and if they so much as feel they ' ve been wronged they now have the legal ability to try take you down for it .
