Оntario Human Rights Commission just Friday released a statement purportedly clarifying its position in relation to pronouns. Paraphrased: Refusing to refer to a person by their self-identified pronoun could constitute gender-based harassment; refusing to refer to a transgender person by their chosen personal pronoun or purposely misgendering them will likely be discrimination when it takes place in a social arena covered by the Code, including employment, housing and services such as education.
