Tasmania - the confused sexual state

This is the title of an article: Transgender law changes: ‘There’s no freedom to be a bigot under Australian law’ Tasmania wants to drop gender from its birth certificates and some are worried they’ll get sued if they don’t address people in the right way. Will you be able to sue someone for not calling you Mr, Ms or X? So yes, we are now in stupid land . Tasmania’s anti-discrimination laws could leave people open to legal action.  University of Notre Dame senior lecturer Greg Walsh says  "The proposed changes to anti-discrimination legislation would add the term “gender expression” into the act, which is defined as including “personal references that manifest or express gender or gender identity.  This could make it illegal for a person to not accept a transgender person’s gender identity, such as by declining to use their preferred personal pronoun,” Dr Walsh said. We've already seen how this has wreaked havoc in the USA. The wreckage is coming to your workplace.
