The compelled speech angle wasn't fully explored in Shahdin's op-ed, which I understand was abbreviated to fit space constraints @CanLawMag, but the directive requires ALL lawyers to state their own pronouns, not just extend a courtesy to those who may prefer something different. https://twitter.com/JChiummiento/status/1358150878444851200

Most lawyers are respectful toward individuals who identify themselves differently. But the main point of contention is that this goes beyond courtesy into enforced complicity in controversial gender ideology.

As with most contentious issues, it is important that the conversation be allowed to take place in the public square. Naturally, those demanding everyone else fall in line want the article pulled. Hopefully @CanLawMag holds firm & permits different perspectives to be heard.
