Meriwether v. Shawnee State Opinion

US 6th district court ruled in favor of university the Professor who was fired for refusing to use a student’s preferred pronouns. He was denied the compromise of using no pronouns at all rather than calling a male student identifying as female by feminine pronouns. The opinion is the 2nd link below and really worth a read. The court ruled it was a violation of his freedom of speech and an attempt to compel him to speak against his beliefs. It seems like a very important opinion on a broader scale as underscores the importance of these freedoms particularly in a university setting where the free exchange of ideas is paramount to society as a whole.

In light of this court ruling, does that mean on websites like MN we should be allowed to use or not use pronouns as we so choose. Up until about 2 years ago I didn't mind being respectful of trans people and their pronouns. Now I'm so cross I refuse to use anyone's preferred pronouns particularly if they are of the male sex. I'm not playing that game any more, not on here either, but here I have to be careful as I don't want to get banned. So I just avoid pronouns.
