tl;dr the German railway operator addressed some non-binary crazy as "Mr". It sued and the court agreed that addressing it as "Mr." is "significant mental stress". So now they have to come up with "diverse" addresses or get fined into oblivion.
State-ordered compelled speech and sanctioned mental illness. What a time to be alive ...
There was a time in 2000's where I called everyone nigga and nobody batted an eye because the understand I was just saying 'dude'.
Now even 'dude' is a problem.
So let them address you as something "diverse", then sue because it caused you significant mental stress to not be gendered properly.
