Yes. Anyway, the Canada bills don't mention pronouns at all. That Google search did not give me much. I can't find any law enforcement getting involved in Canada at universities regarding pronouns. General articles about what compelled speech is but no laws. Reading those articles tho is interesting bc I'm not sure what I think you are describing is compelled speech anyway. It bans a certain type of speech potentially but doesn't force you to interact with someone. I'm also talking about the US not Canada. Where do you get your news?

I've taken some time to look at your other comments and don't have faith that any amount of information will sway you in the slightest. Your bias is very strong, and while there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, I don't have interest in continuing.

It looks like the opposite: Can you provide evidence of your claims?

Well, I'll tell you that they will if you give me any data. At least, I will read it and tell you my opinion of it. If that is not worth your time, ok.
I promise you that I have changed my opinion about things after learning more about them :)
For example, if you could substantiate that certain policies are being enforced by the government in Canada, likely I would agree that they should not be enforced that way! (I just can't find that anywhere someone was arrested for misgendering a person).
