That is utterly insane. I pick out one quote:

Quote

In 2019, Judge Francesca Marzari convicted Hoogland of “family violence” for using female pronouns when speaking about his daughter, and signed an order authorizing the police to arrest him if he was caught using language in a way that acknowledged his child as biologically female.

You can be sent to prison for asserting a true fact about your child.

Richard Dawkins put up a couple of tweets questioning the idea of people changing sex just because they are a different sex. He couched it with lots of support for transpeople but that wasn't enoughh for the bunch of cultists running the American Humanists.

According to the other side in the Maya Forstater appeal, belief in biological sex is akin to Holocaust denial.
