Court and enforced use of 'preferred' pronouns

1 reply

I am still aghast that Maria McLachlan was repeatedly instructed by a judge to use female pronouns for Tara Wood, who had assualted her at Speakers' Corner.

Tara Wood is scientifically male.

Maria McLachlan was instructed to do this, by a Judge, while under oath to tell the truth, in a Court of Law.

What would have happened if Maria had refused to do it on account of it not being the truth?

Anyone know the legal position on this?

Morning, folks. We've had a couple of reports about preferred pronouns on this thread so just wanted to pop by to ask you to use someone's preferred pronouns where possible - we tend to think it's good manners and best practice to 'go high'.

We do recognise that on discussions like this it can seem a bit tricky or paradoxical, but please do your best. Using initials is often a solution that should allow a discussion like this to continue without causing offence.
