If you are a libertarian, why do you care about which and how genders are available for people to self identify as?

I am a male identifying as a male so this is not directly impacting me, but all the recent gender talk on here made me think.

If my neighbour was self identifying as something else than male or female I couldn’t care less. They have the liberty and individual freedom to do whatever they want.

Why would libertarians care? Am I missing something?

The only thing you're missing is that you are assuming we're dealing with serious people who evenly apply the principles they vocally support across all areas of life.

I guess it's convenient to be spiritually bankrupt. If you weren't - you'd already have your answer.

1) I agree with you completely. 2) I think people are often upset when people try to ignore the XX or XY biological reality. Or try to force / coerce others to use certain language (pronouns) or use a threat of violence if you “misgender” them. This is strictly not libertarian.

You’re 100% on point. Be free. A Libertarian is not concerned with these matters of personal choice. Libertarian’s don’t engage in debate/disagreement over one’s personal freedoms. "WE CAN DISAGREE AND STILL LOVE EACH OTHER UNLESS YOUR DISAGREEMENT IS ROOTED IN MY OPPRESSION AND DENIAL OF ...

Just a guess but could be mostly the Christians who care so much

Because they don't just keep it to themselves and force others to play their game. And if you don't play the game, you're attacked, guilt tripped, and gaslit until you reject the evidence of your eyes and participate in a lie. And what do you know? That's exactly what communist Russia did. And we le...

Because it trickles into the schools and family settings. If adults could be adults, sure, but that is far from what happens, with these people promoting their ideologies.

Exactly. We should not care about gender identity or gender expression in terms of how that person chooses to present themselves and live their life. A legitimate tension does arise however when gender expression is conflated with biological sex and used to demand a unquestionable right of entranc...

Libertarians are not really involved in the whole gender issue. This gender issue has been overblown by the government targeted towards the republicans and democrats. Government is using it to divide them and make them fight. It's only a extremely tiny of people that care about pronouns and gender...

Just because the highest rule/norm is to _leave others alone_, I don't have to engage in anywhich insane delusion presented. I can tell people off or refuse to engage in rituals I don't approve of. 1) reality: people concerned with 2+ genders make statements about the world that are incorrect. 2)...

The problem, in my view is that they want to regulate other peoples speech by forcing you to say mam when you are inclined to say dude. Libertarians care about being able to say what they want.

Maybe just not participating in others insanity

Do I have the liberty to NOT call a man identifying as a woman a woman? If you try to impose on my freedom/reality in this regard, or try to force my children to play your game, that's where I have a problem.
