The Lunacy is Hir

“We got a new kid on our swim team today,” said one of my daughters at dinner one night many years ago. “Well it’s not really a new kid. It’s James, but he told us all today that he wants to be called Murphy Patterson from now on. For the entire practice he would not respond to anyone unless he was specifically called Murphy Patterson.”
This “I’m not who I am, but I’m somebody else because that’s how I see myself” lasted for a few days until some adult in the room (either one or both of James’ parents or perhaps Phil, the swim coach) recognized the folly of “Murphy Patterson”, and restored sanity and “James” to the swim team.
Could it be possible that James is now a member of the California Senate? Obviously the odds would be against this happening, but I am trying to find some logic in the California Senate’s recent passage of SB219, which in essence says everyone must call James whatever he wants to be called or be fined.
To whit, SB219 states that would be unlawful for a long term care facility or it staff to willfully and repeatedly fail to use a resident’s preferred name or pronouns after being clearly informed of the preferred name or pronouns.
Help me here, but doesn’t this sound like the revenge of Murphy Patterson? Namely you will call me what I want to be called or you might receive $1000 in fines or up to one year in jail (as reported by CBN news). I guess it could be worse, or perhaps I should say more ‘looney tunes’ as you could live in Canada where Bill C16 is already in place and violations can be considered a hate crime! Likewise in NYC (Now You’re Crazy) failure to comply with similar measures as instituted by de Blasio’s Commission of Human Rights can lead to civil penalties of up to $125,000, and, if due to “willful, wanton, or malicious conduct”, up to $250,000.
But back to California where the pronoun part of SB219 is even more insane, and refers to not only to the pronouns, “he/she/his/her/them”, but also the pronouns, “ze” and “hir” which are popular gender free pronouns used by some transgender and/or gender-nonconforming individuals.
I guess I can gloss over the Canadian lunacy as I do not live there, but as far as I know the USA (which still includes New York and California) still has a First Amendment and I’m pretty sure that this means that I do not have to call James, “Murphy Patterson” or refer to him as ze or hir under penalty of law.
I would guess that by now those of you who do not live in California (or NYC, or Canada) are probably chuckling to yourself at this craziness, but it is even more laughable if you do live in California because we are actually paying these loons in our Senate and Assembly to think up and vote on stuff like this! On 10/4/17 SB219 was signed into law by Gov. ‘Moonbeam’ Brown-and we are paying ze (him/her) too!
It is no wonder that the rest of the country refers to California as ” the land of fruits and nuts”, and are happy that they do not live hir!!
