Holy shit, I'm amazed you had to pepper that with so many qualifiers. How is that even a controversial opinion? Wtf kind of crowd is following you? I think that you had to frame it that way makes me angry on your behalf.
A big part of my thinking revolves around identifying "actual harm". This is still a grey area and I'm not claiming I have concrete answers, but there's at least a spectrum, and things too far on the other side of the spectrum for "imagined harm" are things I give into less.

I get that - but harm doesn’t always come in the form of violence or threats. If for you- imagined harm is this type of concept where individuals are feeling personally attacked by a general opinion - I urge you to my tweet about autistic ppl feeling a collective identity

And beyond that / a religion also does have a collective identity so I see why you’re taking the parallels here / and that’s where the choice bit comes in - autistic people don’t choose the collective identity in the same way religious people do
