Transgender students at Ottawa University are up in arms after Caesar Lennon, a noted Sociology professor, refused to use students’ preferred pronouns. After being briefed on the minefield of multiple genders and microaggressions, you step outside your safe space to face the masses.
The Debate
“By refusing to call me by my preferred pronouns, he is denying my humanity!” cries a spirited student with no clear gender. “He is a transphobic person, using free speech as an excuse to cover his bigotry. I don’t feel safe on this campus anymore because of this. We as a society discourage the use of offensive speech all the time, which is why we don’t allow racial slurs on our campus. Why aren’t pronouns treated the same way? Misgendering should be hate speech and those who do it should be fired from their jobs and liable for psychological damage!”
Accept
“Oh shut up, free speech is a cornerstone of our nation,” bemoans the professor in question. “Restricting speech is how most authoritarian and fascist regimes in history began. First they’ll come for your ability to use the pronouns you want, and you’ll say nothing because you don’t want to offend people; next, they’ll come for the media! We cannot allow this to happen! I am not a bigot just because I refuse to address a transgender student with a made-up pronoun concocted by radical activists. Besides, I have a thousand students, I can’t be bothered to remember a thousand pronouns; I must be allowed to refer to people however I want.”
Accept
“The problem is that our speech allows for such offenses to be had at all,” claims Winston O’Brien, a controversial equality advocate. “I’m not just talking about eliminating gendered pronouns from our language, although that’s really a no-brainer, I’m talking about eliminating any sort of possibly offensive descriptors. Adjectives possibly related to race? Gone! Descriptors of different religions? Gone! Racial slurs? Oh man... er, person, are they gone. With new Canadian OffenselessSpeak, The Canadian Peoples Republic will be paradise.”
Accept
We already have NPV

I am taking a lot of inspiration from the U.S Constitution here so just be aware that it is going to have a bunch of stuff that is similar to the United States' Constitution
Thank you for the warning, I'll take this in case they try to repeat the same stuff here.

You really are bad at figuring out what people like and dislike.
