Exactly. Just like people are routinely prosecuted for using racial slurs in their day to day lives because that's inciting hate. Because that is what this bill covers, some random person speaking to another person on the street.

Who knows how the law can be interpreted? I would say all of the lawyers & courts who have dealt with this exact legislation for a huge number of groups already on the same list.
It adds a group to a list, it doesn't substantially change the interpretation enforcement, or spirit of the existing legislation.

But all that aside, even if it was illegal to call a trans woman "he", which it isn't. It doesn't change the fact that actively doing so, after the person has asked you to do otherwise, legality aside, is a dick move.
