...other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that tends to create a hostile or offensive work environment.

Now normally HR doesn't arrest the person. They just warn, counsel, terminate.

If you ask me to call you Bill and I continue to call you Nancy, that is sexual harassment. Pronouns just depersonalize it one step by using a pronoun instead of a noun.

If one of my staff bought that to me I would go right into the classic pathway of sexual harassment complaints.

Repeatedly and deliberately misgendering someone is sexual harrassment. Given the amount of teeth gnashing on this thread over literally changing a pronoun, I can see why California might feel it needs to add some teeth to tell people that they are serious.

Kind of strange to focus it specifically on seniors. I wonder if that is a particular problem area.

Is the law a tool to force people to be nice?

@Kratesis

I mean I'm not going to actually read the article, but I assume the basis of the law is that California feels that repeatedly and deliberately misgendering someone constitutes sexual harassment.

@Penny, it is not the duty of anyone to memorize a lexicon of evolving, fabricated and fantastic terms just to entertain a handful of people who feel somehow "oppressed" that they were misidentified.

Pronouns are hard, I get it. Civilization is on a knife edge as we slide towards the gender neutral apocalypse.

But asking people to behave as though they were adults and to get over being addressed with the wrong pronoun, particularly these invented ones, is too much to ask.

Oh there there, it will be ok, really it will.

I do a whole cannon of politically inspired dirty talk. Tragically the one I get most is the guy on the deck yelling mission accomplished when I still need ten more years, two trillion more dollars and another 200 000 troops.

There are people who would be into that sort of thing and I don't wan't to kink shame. I am interested to know that goes into 'preparing the bed for sex' though.
