    What are the details of this law? Like, the actual details? Is this just an American C-16, where it’s a very mild and reasonable bill just simply adding gender expression to the existing anti-discrimination law, but the chuds are just treating it like it’s starting the Pronoun Gestapo?

      Here’s the actual text of the bill. The area of the law that is being changed is here (hosted by lexis nexis, a vomit inducing act in itself… so you might need to start at this link).

      I’m not familiar enough with colorado law to say whether it bans any ‘average joe blow’ person from deadnaming, or just in official acts by a business or government entity. The short summary posted by demifriend seems to make it mostly just organizational level entities, like courts considering children’s placement in custody, or school related matters.
