That's fair enough. For me the difference is that if you don't like someone's clothes then you're still allowing them to wear them, but if you deny someone's gender or nationality which rely on outside recognition to feel real then you are actually limiting their expression of their self-perception.

I'll be first to defend people's right to dress as they will, especially in the case of women being forced to cover themselves (from burkhas to anti-toplessness laws), but the level of seriousness between being a goth and being a certain gender is currently worlds apart.
