State Senator and Senate Judiciary Committee chair Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) announced that only "gender neutral" pronouns will be permitted during committee hearings.
"Our first order of business is to approve the committee rules. I'd like to note — in respecting the fact that we are now a state recognizing the non-binary designation as a gender — he and she, we are now merging them so we are using what my grammar teacher would have had a heart attack over: we are using the phrase ‘they’ and replacing other designations so it's a gender neutral designation: ‘they,’” announced the Democrat. “Basically, that’s the primary reforms and revisions to the committee rules.”
Some people wonder how Donald Trump is going to win a second term. These kinds of asinine misuses of government power are going to be a bigger factor than many Democrat leftists realize.
Trump's social conduct is problematic, sure. But the social conduct of the Demcrat left is far worse than Trump.
Congress and many if not all state congress people, swears an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution — including the First Amendment, which declares: “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech.”

Probably not.
I don't know the CA state constitution, but the US Constitution gives legislators the power to set the rules for proceedings, presumably to include what language is allowable. A few years ago our state legislature passed a law to change all legal references to "Oriental" to "Asian." Practitioners of "Oriental medicine" asked for and received exemption. There was no First Amendment challenge to it.

So what happens to those who do not comply? Before the lawsuits, that is.
I'd say we could all just switch to using smoke signals but that would be cultural appropriation.
Well, except for Liz Warren.
