> social contract overrides personal liberty

Not signing the contract simply means having no right to the protections that it affords. I have no responsibility to treat you with respect if you don't go out and vaccinate yourself. I have no responsibility to entertain traditions that you value, if you don't value the traditions of others.

You have attributed a loss of liberty to it, from the comment that you are replying to:

> You are free, of course, to not "sign" that contract - but that means that those who have are not obligated to apply it to you.

Participate in the social contract, or don't, your choice.

Traditions have nothing to do with it. In America we have liberty and your worldview is not compatible with our constitution. Wars have and will continue to be faught to preserve my version

So I am not free to engage in a contract with like-minded people? The constitution demands that I don't use pronouns?

That sounds like limiting speech.
