You need to learn that such things are a part of life and you have to deal with it in order to be a member of society. The existence of progress doesn't negate the need for hate speech protection. All societies have to change with time and that's okay.

I think you all forgot the purpose behind policies like freedom of speech and natural rights and that's why you're getting all mixed up.

What the hell are you talking about?

In no way or form did I say it is okay to misgender someone.

Please try to understand what this discussion was about. It was about the very fact that words and things that were okay to say in the past, are sometimes not okay to say anymore today.
