#2 Will New Yorkers be color-coded or stamped with identifying marks for this?

Also, is "idiot" a pronoun?

#3 I have an idea - we could require NYC residents to print a name tag and preferred gender pronoun on their lapels before they walk into a business. Say, on a bright yellow star so it sticks out and nobody misses it...

#6 "assigned" at birth? How about proven at birth. That Y chromosome isn't changeable, no matter how you want to argue with it. Cold hard fact. "Assigning" it "Female" is about as realistic "assigning" the status of alive to a stone.

#9 "'Hey 'mister sister' welcome to Starbucks. I noticed you had a penis when you lifted your skirt and squated on the sidewalk on 5th avenue. How would you like me to refer to you?"

#13 Meanwhile crime in NY continues to rise and jobs continue to bleed away.

Good job MR. Idiot Mayor.
