Legislation only breeds resentment and does more damage in the long run that education would. It's using a band-aid to fix a leaky pipe rather than having it repaired.
If you're willing to let the government dictate the limits of speech, your less-than-ideal situation is going to come back and hurt you, especially if (God forbid) public opinion on trans people radically shifts to the negative following a few court cases for hate-speech

not sure if how much of an argument u wanna built on that, the formal possibilities a law provides matter regardless of the likelihood that someone takes advantage of them. tbs, the free speech case is bullshit cuz as I said, workers don't have free speech while working

well they seem to believe they'll go to jail for being rude/inconsiderate to random strangers, and I think they genuinely believe that, what mystifies me is mostly, why they're so invested in believing that, more a victim complex than transphobia maybe idk

Exactly, social practice. Those are customs we have figured out ourselves and agreed to mutually through a social contract. Politeness, in other words. Governmental involvement with speech is not as effective and actually has the opposite of its intended effect
