If you think hate speech is acceptable, you may want to stop and reassess your life. You dun fucked up.
Try building a life that doesn't revolve around worrying about other people do that doesn't affect you, it's far healthier.
Thank you for taking your time to reply, but you misunderstood my question.
I didn't misunderstand your question, I ignored answering your question and instead gave advice to a person who would ask such a question.
You will die an unhappy person if you make hating other people a priority in your life.
Let me guess, calling a trans woman male is considered 'hate speech' in your mind?
A) This thread is 8 months old, what the hell are you doing going through stuff this old. Get a life.
B) If you do it intentionally, knowing that they don't want it, you're a bad person. It's not hate speech though based on the legal description in Canada. Just like I can call you a thin-skinned small-dicked asshole and it's not hate speech.
I never mentioned canada or any laws. Do you think it should be considered hate speech?
I'm a Canadian, so the only hate speech laws that I care about are the ones for my country.
No I do not think intentional misgendering should be considered hate speech (in the legal sense)
I would absolutely fire an employee of mine for doing it though, even if I found out they did it outside of a work context.
Just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean there shouldn't be consequences for it.
