Right, although that hasn't been fully tested legally either. Grimm's case (which would have been precedent-setting) never made it to SCOTUS

Of course, there will be more cases....sooner or later SCOTUS is going to take this on. Latest on Grimm: http://www.13newsnow.com/news/local/virginia/gavin-grimm-gloucester-co-transgender-student-drops-landmark-bathroom-case/463714292 …

Even if a Grimm-like case prevails, the issue of "misgendering" is a direct assault on the 1st Amendment and the freedom of speech.

Because of the 1st, the KKK has always marched in the US; it's why the American Civil Liberties Union has represented them, on principle.

In many European countries, people CAN be thrown in jail for either of the above. Some college students in the US think that's a good thing.

Danger of "hate speech" laws is "hate" is defined by who is in power at any given time. Better to protect speech, prosecute violent acts.
