New York Judge Says There Is No Tort of ‘Misgendering’

Hopefully, this will be the end of such obviously frivolous lawsuits with respect to human fads and manias!

Preferred pronouns! Laughable! I want to be called hesheit (pronounced heshit)! Just kidding! Caution: satire!

"At the Volokh Conspiracy, Senior Fellow Eugene Volokh writes about a decision where a judge in Manhattan ruled that repeatedly misgendering a person, in this case calling someone “him” who had asked to be called “them,” does not mean the misgender-er is liable for damages.

The misgendered party asked the judge to order the misgender-er to use the preferred pronoun and sought damages for each “instance of deliberate misgendering that has occurred and continued to occur.” The judge disagreed. “There is . . . no showing of any actual ‘misgendering’ or any legally cognizable injury arising from it,” Judge Gerald Lebovits wrote. “New York recognizes no tort of ‘misgendering.’”"
