Right, so misgendering is one possible way to measure gender identity discrimination just as a boss using racial slurs is a way to measure racial discrimination. That’s how I read OHRC. And I’ve read these previously though didn’t cite them. Brown’s essay gets to something at the end that’s important — the courts don’t do compelled speech. That’s part of what the legislative argument focused on: we can trust the courts to rules on these cases in context and understand that they’re dealing with discrimination that results in material harm.
