The New York public transportation authority--a government agency that oversees the administration of public transportation--has posted signs that essentially threaten to end the life of people who are disrespectful toward "transgender" people.

Metro Transit Authority (MTA), posted the following sign stating, "Remember: Respect trans people, or your pronouns will be was/were."

TransLink, the public transportation authority operating out of Vancouver, British Columbia, concurred with the warning.

That a taxpayer-funded government agency is allowed to post such threatening signs--which would clearly be illegal as it incites violence--and get away with it is demonstrative of the perilous times we're living in.
