You're skipping over my entire point.
Is there a law against a caretaker calling her disabled patient stupid every day? Why have a law against one and not the other? They both seem like common courtesy and shouldn't be tolerated by a caregiver. But I would think the fix would be to fire that person, not to send them to jail or whatever.
Intentionally using the wrong pronoun to abuse a patient was not considered a crime. It was not in the books. No matter how many times you tap your heels and wish it, it wasn't going to be in the books without someone putting it there.
This is simple. Laws don't cover all possible scenarios when they're created. What kind of idiotic BS is pretending they do?
"We don't need any new laws, we got everything covered." How stupid.
This abuse was ADDED to the list of criminal abuses. What's your problem with that?
