Rafael also has preferred pronouns. If we aren't allowed to use people's preferred pronouns, do we start referring to Rafael as Rafael instead of he/him?
I can't wait for some dipshit to reply to this thinking I actually believe this bill prevents you from using pronouns
If nobody can use preferred pronounce, just start calling all CIS males "she/her." They would prefer to be "he/him" so obviously we can't call them that.
Yeah the entire Senate should just start to only ever refer to him as Rafael.
But intentionally mispronounce it "ruh-FAIL".
And when he inevitably gets bent out of shape over it, tell him to sit down and let the grown ups talk.
