    Anyone knows what the law actually allows?

    Last I checked the cops and courts enforce the law, and traditionally, they’ve not been great at accepting things like pronouns.

    Like I pointed out this wouldn’t need to be a law unless there had been egregious instances of people’s pronouns being ignored and people being deadnamed. Who releases mug shots? Cops. So this is a law aimed at cops.

    And you’re really acting like “it won’t be allowed” when cops are conservative scumfucks and the ones who will be taking down the pronouns? Give me a break, they’ll let it fly and it will end up in court for two years before anything is done about it.
