  >I could choose to indulge my fabulous side and cross dress Well, personally, I would say you are born with a fabulous side so you are just being true to yourself.

The problem is you are making a choice not only to believe in something completely void of fact (you can be ignorant if you want to be I guess) but you are also making a choice that HARMS society as a whole.

If your choice guides the people you vote for to be anti-science yeah, that choice deserves to be ridiculed.

  > Why does choice matter? Honestly, I don't think it does; traditional protected classes, after all, include things that are just as much choice as political ideology (particularly, religion.)
