‘Misgender’ is a term now widely defined in dictionaries of note (Cambridge, Collins and Oxford); and last October the publishers of Cambridge Dictionary redefined ‘woman’ to include ‘trans women’. They have acquiesced to the lie.
I’ve had several chats with other Christians about whether it’s disrespectful to ‘misgender’ someone. Is it perpetuating a lie? Or is it loving to refer to someone by their preferred pronouns? That’s a question of personal conscience – but if someone (a Christian, for the purposes of this article) doesn’t feel able to comply with the person’s preferences – they may risk facing legal consequences.
Such is the force of the cult of gender ideology that if you dare to misgender a person at work, you could lose your job.
