The great state of Michigan, led by its fearless leader, Governor Gretchen Whitmer, has decided to tackle a matter of utmost importance: pronoun usage. Yes, you heard it right, folks. While there are pressing issues such as the economy, crime rates, and job creation, Lansing’s finest have dedicated their valuable time to pass a law that could potentially jail individuals for using the wrong gender pronouns. Talk about priorities!
In Michigan, Improper Pronoun Use Could Land You in Jail

The legislation, known as HB 4474, aims to criminalize the dastardly act of causing someone to feel threatened by words. But here’s the kicker, folks – the language in this bill is as subjective as it gets. It’s an open invitation for overzealous prosecutors to take a joyride into unconstitutional territory. Locking people up for using the wrong pronoun? Really, Governor Whitmer? Is this what you call justice?
Under this new law, offenders could face up to five years behind bars or a hefty $10,000 fine. That’s five years of your life wasted or thousands of dollars flushed down the drain, all for exercising your right to free speech. It’s a slippery slope, my friends, when the government starts punishing us for expressing our own thoughts and opinions. This is not the land of the free anymore; it’s the land of the thought police.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the bill’s definition of “intimidate.” Brace yourselves, because it’s as vague as a politician’s promise. It involves a “willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment” that makes a “reasonable individual feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.” Do you see the problem here, folks? The snowflake brigade and their woke definitions of “harassment” will have a field day with this. They believe that simply having a different political view is intimidating and violent. Well, newsflash, my friends, disagreement is not a crime!
Critics of the bill are sounding the alarm bells, rightfully accusing it of violating our beloved First Amendment. And they’re spot on! This law is a direct attack on our freedom of speech. The left loves to champion tolerance and inclusivity, yet here they are, silencing those who dare to question their worldview. It’s a dangerous path we’re treading, my fellow conservatives, and we must fight tooth and nail to protect our rights.
I implore all free speech warriors and defenders of liberty to prepare their legal filings. This law is downright insane, and it’s high time we put an end to this nonsense. We’re not in Canada, folks. We won’t stand for importing their limiting ideas on freedom of speech. Let’s show the Michigan legislature that we won’t be intimidated by their oppressive pronoun police. Stand tall, my conservative compatriots, and let’s defend our right to speak our minds without fear of government retribution.
