> misgendering people, whether they're cis or trans, is likely to hurt them. making mistakes illegal usually involves very demanding requirements of negligence, but making willfully hurting others out of spite and prejudice illegal is a lot more reasonable
Misgendering a trans identified person hurts the same way as denying the existence of God to a believer. Misgendering is not out of spite or prejudice if done on the basis of respecting biological reality. Making it illegal is not just a violation of freedom of speech, but also of freedom of conscience
