The phrase "reasonable person" does the heavy lifting here. A reasonable person should be able to understand that others have different opinions that may be distasteful or wrong. Unless those opinions are violent and directed at them personally, they are not hostile.

So you are saying 'words are violence' was BS all along? Better tell that to those college campusses and their speech police squads. Bring back the reasonable people they ousted over the last two decades.

Calling for the genocide of Jews is context-dependent, but misgendering is always a hate crime?

I mean, I think a statement advocating for the genocide of Jews is reflecting a violent opinion and is obviously personal for Jews!
