Fortunately, not all members of GenWu are pussies who cannot tolerate free speech:
CHICAGO — Four Wheaton College students have sued the city of Chicago, claiming rules for a popular park undercut the First Amendment’s guarantees of freedom of speech and free exercise of religion.
Earlier this year, Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events divided Millennium Park into 11 sections and prohibited “the making of speeches and passing out of written communications” in 10 of them.
Millennium Park is home to Cloud Gate, better known as The Bean, by British artist Anish Kapoor. Plaintiffs’ attorney John Mauck says because it is a major tourist attraction “that’s where you want to get your message out.”
Chicago Law Department spokesman Bill McCaffrey refused to comment because officials haven’t seen the lawsuit, which was filed Tuesday. He says Millennium Park rules “protect First Amendment rights while also respecting the rights of patrons to use and enjoy the park.”

An interesting perspective from someone who is kind of halfway between "millennial" and "something else, depending upon whose opinion you believe."
Even in Times Square — crammed with tourists from around the world dodging people in superhero costumes — the playwright Jeremy O. Harris stands out.
He's walking down the sidewalk with two thick and long braids, standing six feet and five inches tall, wearing a see-through shirt, carrying bags from fashion designers and smoking a cigarette. He's between New York Fashion Week events and his Broadway opening
(much deleted)
"I think that we're all into safe spaces right now," Lucio says. "But we might need more brave spaces, where people speak their truth and we start to lean in and listen to things that make us uncomfortable instead of walking away from each other.
"Safe spaces tend to really worry about when somebody is in discomfort, we need to nurture them and make them feel like they're safe and they're OK. And in a brave space, when you feel discomfort, you're supposed to sit with it and acknowledge that that's part of the process towards growth."

The latest in corporate virtue-signalling is Mattel's new "Creatable World" line, a series of "gender-inclusive" dolls aimed at furthering the confusion of today's youth.
https://www.mattel.com/en-us/creatable-world
The line’s premise is "all about customization — of hair, clothes and accessories — creating a toy that isn’t dictated by gender norms."
Newsweek praises the fact that "The Creatable World doll line is a response by Mattel to the increased understanding of fluid gender identity among today's youth."

people on twitter literally identify as pedophiles. it's insane.
example:
too bad twitter is too busy banning conservatives and not banning this ****. But they are willingly normalizing this -- because liberals, again, are all disgusting pedophiles.

Uhhh, what?
I'm going to ignore the convoluted way you describe yourself, and focus on the second last sentence.
"Today, the Supreme Court begins to hear arguments on whether or not people like me can legally be fired from work."

"legally be fired from work"...???
So in her/his/xi/xem fantasy world, if someone identifies the way this person does, they can just do nothing at work and would be protected from being fired? This must be a joke. The fact that it's made it all the way up to the Supreme Court is mind-boggling. What kind of fantasy does this person live in?
Also, there are already laws in place that prohibit employers from firing someone based off of their gender.
This person has merch available for when the Supreme Court (hopefully) rules against her, she can play victim and make money off of other Leftists (yay capitalism, right!?).
Every day we straw further and further away from sanity.
