Question: do penalties for refusing to use "appropriate pronouns" for transgender men & women, on publicly funded school grounds, violate the 1st Amendment?
One could argue that it does. One could argue, that they have the right to believe that someone born a male at birth stays a male till death, reconstructive surgery & hormone treatment be damned. And firing or suspending, or even fining someone for calling a man "he/sir/Mr" when they self-identify as a female, violates the US Constitution.
How do we encourage such people to respect the identity wishes of others? I don't know. This question is about penalties.
