.@badgallulu_ People can criticise gender-specific modesty codes. I defend the right to wear hijab but also the right to criticise it.

criticize the concept all you would like, but please respect that when it is in effect by choice, you don't get to say a thing

That makes no sense. We can criticise the concept all we want but don't get to say a thing if its a choice?

if a person chooses to wear the hijab, you don't get to say anything about whether what they're doing is right or not

Yes, I do. Ppl make all sorts of bad choices and I can say so. I just can't make them listen to me or demand that they stop.

essentially what i'm saying is that free speech is fine, until said speech harasses/impedes on the rights of the wearer

And a hashtag does not do this. Even if people are really critical on it.

the issue is that many of those on this hashtag have been confusing the difference between free speech and hate speech

Really? Hate speech is free speech. We can condemn it tho and do. Criticising the hijab is not hate speech tho.

criticizing and harassing the people who wear the hijab (as is done quite a bit in this tag) is hate speech
