Chiming in from the legal side, I think there is a circumstance where it would necessarily have to be interpreted that way - i.e., to compel you to use someone's preferred pronoun for them. However, I don't think that interpretation would hold up constitutionally. As a result, I think for practical purposes, people should just read it the way you're already reading it, as adding a new entry to the list of "you cannot discriminate against the following groups of people".
