New York City Will Fine You For Not Calling People ‘Ze’ or ‘Hir’

It’s rapidly getting to the point where Americans will simply go mute.

According to legal guidance from the Mayor Bill de Blasio’s New York City Commission on Human Rights, if you don’t address another person by their chosen appellation, you could suffer “civil penalties up to $125,000 for violations, and up to $250,000 for violations that are the result of willful, wanton, or malicious conduct.”
