The Democratic Michigan House has just passed a bill that will make misgendering someone a felony under the guise of ‘intimidation’.

Here’s more via Fox News:

A recently passed bill in Michigan could make it a felony to intimidate someone by intentionally using the wrong gender pronouns, according to some legal experts.

Michigan’s state House of Representatives has passed bill HB 4474, a piece of legislation that criminalizes causing someone to feel threatened by words.

Under the new bill, offenders are “guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or by a fine of not more than $10,000.”

“‘Intimidate’ means a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened,” the bill reads.

This is what would make repeated misgendering a felony:

The bill specifically addresses “sexual orientation” and “gender identity or expression” as protected classes.

According to the bill, “‘Gender identity or expression’ means having or being perceived as having a gender-related self-identity or expression whether or not associated with an individual’s assigned sex at birth.”

The phony gender of a so-called transgender will now be a protected status in Michigan. Unbelievable.

The bill passed the Michigan House with three Republicans voting for it. The bill now goes to the Senate where Democrats also have slim majority. If the bill becomes law you can be sure it will be challenged on the basis of violating the First Amendment.
