I also fight for the end of laws that force a woman to wear a hijab. But somehow, some people who insist their concern is Muslim women’s agency lose all interest when it comes to protecting Muslim women’s right to wear it,per their free choice, & call my beliefs “rape culture”.https://twitter.com/YasMohammedxx/status/1101883897363591168 …

Free means free to choose either way. Free means free from judgement, especially the judgement of other women.

Exactly. And that's why we fight. Do you even care that so many women on this planet are NOT free? Do you care that a woman in Iran was imprisoned for 29 years for taking off her hijab? That a 16 yr old girl in Canada was killed? Do they not deserve freedom too?

Yasmine, you're a hero. When I was growing up, hijab was nowhere to be seen. UK based Muslim communities originating from the subcontinent did not wear it. Now it's everywhere. We need to question and protest the spread of fundamentalist Islam.

Thank you, Shazia
It’s important that we fight for progress in our own communities and not let ppl who want to keep us down get in our way. Women’s rights are universal-not just for Western women.
I appreciate your sisterhood and solidarity xxx

You're conflating actual oppression where an agent's options are limited due to externally imposed constraints AND cases where an agent has access to non-hijab options and still chooses hijab. The latter is a freely willed act, even if you disagree with it.
