Silencing behaviour is silencing behaviour, if you can not communicate with your identity intact there's a problem.  It is a mind blowing idea that there could be more than two genders or the ability to switch them. Some moments I get it; some moments I do not.  There is a difference between fighting to create space for a new idea and attempting to re-impose old ones with a history of destruction like theocracy, various delusions of national virtue etc.  Universities are now being marketed as centers of innovation; the idea of innovation is that it can go anywhere.  IF a person had communicated that they preferred to be labelled by pronoun or an identity, so long as it was not fraudulent, respect / comply.  By that standard, if I professed indigenous, feminine or religious identities, the audience would have the right and perhaps moral obligation to challenge those assertions.  I get annoyed by the aggressive lefties but not compared to seeing a woman denied facial communication.
