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.

again i wonder whether the implied symmetry is valid, or whether positions have to be assessed concretely in a given social context.

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

I rule out any forcing of people to say certain things or not say certain things.

If you also rule out forcing people to listen to certain things, there would be a conflict again.

There's a conflict with words we have to use like pronouns, yes. Ppl have to hear trans ppl using ones they don't agree with & vice versa.

i don't think it's as symmetrical as you are presenting it i keep coming back to this thought and i'll need to flesh it out more at some pt

I'm not claiming its symmetrical. There are majority views & minority ones. Its harder for the minority ones.

But this doesn't mean the majority should be forced by law into believing what the minority does or pretending to in their speech.
