@peterhouston-hencken455 As my comment said, you are moving the goalposts. Originally, you said "nobody is forcing you." Now you are saying "show me who was jailed." There are places where it is illegal, but the consequence is typically a large fine, probation, etc. This is still force. Especially to poor ppl. Also, sometimes, there is no fine, but an "order" to use proper pronouns in the future and if you are caught not doing so, you get in trouble for contempt of court. Also, basically everyone is forced to in their workplaces or they will be fired. This is force!
Also, if there is a law, ppl are literally being forced and so not having a ton of ppl to "prove" to you is silly since most ppl will obey it so they do not have to pay the fines.
With that said, this is just from part of 1 google search page.
Bill Whatcott was fined $55,000
In NY, landlords, service providers, and employers purposely misgendering is subject to fines (that could reach as high as $250,000 for multiple violations)
In California, for like 4 yrs, healthcare workers “willfully and repeatedly” failing to use a transgender person’s “preferred name or pronouns” after he or she is “clearly informed of the preferred name or pronouns and could be punished by a fine “not to exceed one thousand dollars” or “by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year,” or both. I believe a judge struck it this year. Thank God.
In the UK, Kate Scottow was fine $1k for it
Caroline Farrow was investigated for misgendering in the UK
Whole Foods had a lawsuit
These go on and on and ppl are trying to make it so all over the place.
