Intentionally and knowingly calling a MTF trans person a man is transphobia. Dunno about jail, but I'd be down to have legally enforced punishment for that. To be fair, that should probably cover all cases of (intentionally and knowingly) misgendering people, in a similar fashion to defamation.

    Dang. Thanks for being honest, but I vehemently disagree with you.

    People should be allowed to call others what they want. It's up to us to be mature enough to handle people calling us things we don't like.

    You should know that advocating for legal repercussions here drives people away from the cause.

    Edit: It's sad how many of you want to control others' speech like this, but I guess it just goes to show that we're not really on the same side.

    If a politician is running a platform of pushing legal penalties for calling people things they don't like, I will make sure to vote against them.
