What if they can't tell what gender the person is? Is it politically correct or politically incorrect to ask the person, "Are you a He, She, or Neither"? In my experience, sometimes that assessment of gender isn't at all obvious.

This is why I prefer staring intently at my phone. I'm polite and considerate to everyone I meet, but not verbal at all. Avoid making eye contact with any of the top 5 on the perpetually aggrieved totem pole and you might make it out alive. Don't talk to strangers....ever.

And while I say Orwellian, I am not sure that even gets us all the way to this, because as far as I can recall, there was nothing quite as far-fetched as this latest development of the PC movement in "1984".

Of course this is just New York City and right now the issues are limited to gender identification issues. But of course if they can prescribe speech codes around this, they can do it around pretty much everything, which we all know they will if allowed to do so. This is what will be at stake when the Supreme Court hears this, which I hope will be soon.

I would suggest that George Orwell would be proud, but I honestly do not believe that he would be. Instead, I think he would be shocked, frightened and dismayed, as he envisioned how this would unfold into every nook and cranny of our society, if allowed to proceed unchecked. The Democrats are trying to take us to a horribly oppressive place with all this stuff, and we are entering the stage where it is not hypothetical anymore.

Surely this is going to be stopped. It is, isn't it? Truly surreal.
"This is where the Democrat left's political correctness agenda exits the realm of the absurd and enters the realm of the impossible"

Haven't many of us been saying for years, "Give them an inch and they will take a mile"?

This is a result of the government who pushes revolution on the people. The direct result is a division of the people and the inevitable revolt by those opposed. It is a complete failure to recognize or interpret the Constitution and defend it required by the oath of office. Government should not be in the business of creating revolution to bring about change or incite violence in a peaceful population. This kind of top down revolution has an agenda to be destructive to civilization and promote unrest. Government should respond to a revolution not create it.

A bottom up revolution where a large segment of society decides that a change is necessary, to the benefit of the population, and the nation, is one that the government should respond to. The civil rights movement was such a movement where those at the bottom had reached a limit of what they could accept, demanded change, and the government had to act.

Of course no one is going to take to the streets with pitch forks on this issue but keep bring and pushing nonsense on the people and you will get to that point. There is a limit. History of civil unrest has many examples of ignorance among those who rule unwisely.
