JUST IN: MI House Passes Bill Making it a HATE CRIME Punishable of Up to $10,000 Fine and Imprisonment For Using Wrong Pronouns

By Amber Crawford

 

A bill that was passed by the Michigan House of Representatives would make it a hate crime to use the wrong gender pronouns to identify someone.

Bill HB 4474 aims to criminalize the act of causing someone to feel threatened by using words that do not correctly identify them.

This piece of legislation states that someone who intentionally “intimidates another individual” or threatens them “by word or act” based “in whole or in part on an actual or perceived characteristic” including sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression, is “guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or by a fine of not more than $10,000.”

“Intimidate” is defined in the bill as a “willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.”

“Gender identity or expression” is defined as “having or being perceived as having a gender-related self-identity or expression whether or not associated with an individual’s assigned sex at birth.”
