No-one should be allowed to abuse trans ppl. No-one shld force anyone else to adopt their view on gender & use its terminology.

I don't think so. A Christian/Muslim who believes God made everyone's genitalia the gender they shld be is not abused by others saying no.

I think that would be dangerous. It essentially comes down to a 'But I'm right so I can express my beliefs. You're wrong so you can't.'

Or we get bizarre situation where a marginalised group can express beliefs but not a dominant one & Muslims can be homophobic but not Xtians

In the west, obviously. Here, Peter Tatchell had to explain why it isn't racist to oppose lyrics abt killing LGBTs by black musicians.

lol are you saying that happened? i would add to that that such (valid) opposition can still be seen in a racist context

Yes, absolutely. It was ludicrous. The #StopMurderMusic campaign was condemned as racist. http://www.petertatchell.net/a2/print_versions/168.htm …
