How is it feelings trumping rights ? Using the correct pronouns just seems like good old fashioned respect , imo . It ' s not that difficult and I don ' t get why people are so insistent on not having to do it . Edit btw , this is a genuine question , I ' m trying to understand why people have this vehement objection to this . It seems like common sense imo . Edit 2 So having looked at 8280564 which I should have done before , admittedly , I was going off of other people ' s reactions which is never a good idea I am even more confused as to what the concern and furor is about . It looks like gender expression is simply being added to our already present Human Rights code , with no explicit mention of pronouns , etc . So the idea is to prevent more explicit discrimination , etc . Are people just afraid that they ' re going to be targeted if they make a mistake or if they do that ? This seems like quite a lot of confusion and worry over what will likely be nothing .
