I am infuriated.

Check out LJ's responses to my concerns about artistic freedom and hate speech definitions. Note how they don't answer my questions. Note how my rights will be "reviewed"

Everyone has a sex, a gender identity and a sexual orientation. And without rules saying that none of the above should be targets of hate speech, everyone is a potential target - including cisgender, straight males. Granted it isn't likely (and the power difference between both groups is rather enormous), but I could very well see someone making a post advocating that heterosexuals should be hurt, harrassed and killed because they're a majority group harming a minority. Unlikely, but possible, and a damn good reason why such a policy doesn't just protect "objectionable" groups.
