    I’m triggered by an erosion of free speech. I’m fine if these people want to say they are whatever they are.

    Government dictates should be logical, not abusable, and in line with free speech as much as possible. Especially when the government themselves doesn’t set a defined number of genders and leaves it ambiguous.

      Hate speech cannot be free speech as it encroaches on the liberty of others.

      The ambiguity is a feature, not a bug, because gender expression is so incredibly variable both in humans and across the animal kingdom; you have no right to define another’s.

      The paradox of tolerance is an uncomfortable truth and natural limit to our freedom as we live, mutually, in a society.
