举个具体例子,Penn State的游泳运动员 Lia Thomas, 生下来是生理男性。按照我的理解是TA接受了荷尔蒙治疗,但是没有进行变性手术(所以TA依然具有男性生殖器)。在这个前提下,TA 完全可以认为自己是个女性,并希望别人在提到TA的时候,用“她”(she/her)称呼。这是 TA 的个人权利。
但做为一个旁人,因为各种认知,包括 Lia 的男性生殖器,也完全可以认为 Lia 依然是个男性,用“他”(he/him)称呼。这是那个旁人的个人认知和权利,是不容侵犯的。使用‘他’,不是对Lia 的歧视和霸凌。
在一个健康和正直的社会,我们应该允许这两种不同意见的共同存在,并对于 Lia 是否应该有资格和(生理)女运动员公平竞争,展开坦诚的争论。

但在左派 WOKE 的世界观里,这样的社会显然是不公平的,是需要推翻的。
首先 WOKE 不是什么新鲜概念,无非就是“阶级斗争”的一个变种。在这个世界观里,社会被分成两类人:“压迫别人的人”,和“被压迫的人”。一个弱势群体,一个强势群体。我们可以按很多条件来区分,比如 白人vs黑人,男人vs女人,富人vs穷人,straight vs gay, 不变性 vs 变性,等等等等。
"Vivian Ware, Disney's diversity and inclusion manager,... "So we no longer say 'ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,'" Ware said in the video. "We've provided trainings for all of our our cast members and in relationship to that so now they know it's, 'hello everyone' or 'hello friends.'"
这个算是company training 吧。Company train 了员工,不要再用那四个词了。我(做为员工)如果不听,后果自负?
还是那句话:咱们对每一件事情的容忍线不一样,得出的结论自然也不一样。Let's just agree to disagree?
"In the Criminal Code, which does not reference pronouns, Cossman says misusing pronouns alone would not constitute a criminal act.
“The misuse of gender pronouns, without more, cannot rise to the level of a crime,” she says. “It cannot rise to the level of advocating genocide, inciting hatred, hate speech or hate crimes … (it) simply cannot meet the threshold.”
The Canadian Human Rights Act does not mention pronouns either. The act protects certain groups from discrimination."
支持你的观点的有这一句:“According to legal experts, including law professors Brenda Cossman of the University of Toronto and Kyle Kirkup of the University of Ottawa, not using preferred pronouns would not meet legal standards for hate speech.”
但也有这一段:“According to Cossman, accidental misuse of a pronoun would be unlikely to constitute discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act, but "repeatedly, consistently refus[ing] to use a person’s chosen pronoun" might“
(而且,右派政治人物们自己也拿不出个一致的定义来:
右派参议员们 John Kennedy, John Cornyn, 甚至问了问题的那个田纳西参议员(问了3次) - 都给不出个定义。其他人的回答也是各说各话,没一个相同)
