https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech > Freedom of speech[2] is a fundamental human right that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction.

The list of things at the forefront of you mind would fall under the above. You might get your teeth kicked in but by the actual freedom of speech definition rather than your own truths interpretation there would be no legal response.

It's true however that we don't actually subscribe to that definition any more, so you never know. Maybe you'll have your wish.

Huh? It's called criminal verbal threats and they're quite illegal.

Case laws have upheld them numerous times. This isn't "interpreted truths", racial slurs have been interpreted as intent and such things have been prosecuted.

And you want missgendering to be interpreted legally as the equivalent of a death threat?
