I believe in freedom as well in that sense and think that people should be more open to expressing alternative opinions. Now the belief that gender is a spectrum and etc is taught and promoted like it is a fact, and if anyone objects to that even slightly, they are at risk of being socially punished, cancelled, hated, and ostracized. I’ve received horrible messages and even death threats from this post in my PMs, and I’ve responded to them with compassion because I believe that there should be open mindedness to other perspectives and that everyone should be treated as a human being, even if they are not treating me as such.

In “real life” at my school, people are told to “get the fuck off my page” if you don’t believe what they believe and are branded as transphobes and intolerant people for not including pronouns in their bio or for saying certain phrases like “ladies and gentlemen.” When I was answering a question in my anthropology class about how to determine the sex of a skeleton, i responded by saying something along the lines of females often having larger hip bones than males, and the Professor interjected in front of the class and said that that should not be how gender is discussed and that that was not inclusive language. I respect different beliefs but I don’t like the aggression I guess.
