I guess it comes down to manners.

Correct me if I am wrong - but I thought 1A protection only applies when a government entity is involved - ie Feds, "state/city" schools,agencies, etc - may not infringe. But a private individual is under no restriction to honor some freaks 1A rights and may aptly apply an old fashioned "Lee Marvin" punch to the mouth of said individual.
There may be other charges or complications but freedom of speech was not one of them.

Am I correct in my reasoning?

You could pick a fight, but I tend to avoid falling victim to FAFO, especially with my kids.

Agreed with kids in the vicinity - but in the wild it's game on!

I just finished my company's annual anti-harrassment training and the "Gender Identity" section; otherwise, known as tranny values was the longest section of the training, not really surprised.

xd45man. Understood on not naming the farm. Wouldn't want you to. It's not their fault some clown is walking around with an obscenity on their clothing.
Best to just ignore people like that.

In public, an alleged gay man had a fanny pack that had princess stickers on it and a patch that read "Show me that butthole." I felt uneasy about it, especially since we were at the pumpkin patch and there were kids running around everywhere. I suppose the patch is protected by the first amendment, but it offended me. If I were wearing a Jesus is King shirt, I suppose it would have offended him.

If it were overt enough that pre-pubescent kids would likely see it, it is obscene. My theory is that kids over about age 13 already have seen and heard everything, so they aren't going to be corrupted if they happen to see that patch.

Mostly I would have moved my younger kids away from the guy. No need to have to get into a conversation with your kids about what that patch means.

But it may have been worth mentioning to the manager at the farm that someone is walking around with offensive obscene material on their clothing. Idk what their policy might be, but I would leave it up to them to deal with the guy. I think there is a good chance the guy was looking for confrontation and, perhaps, to try to win the lawsuit lottery.

What happens when a strict Muslim (or other strongly religious) person refuses to accept calling a guy a gal or doesn't want to share a bathroom with them? Does a current administration policy trump the 1st amendment or does the Constitution win?

In such an instance, the person who is not beheaded prevails.

Transgender former football coach listed in Maxim Australia's ‘Hot 100’ women alongside Margot Robbie

Approaching ludicrous speed (from twit). . .

50 year old man who identifies as a ‘girl’ competes in swimming competition against 13 year old girls.

“Melody Wiseheart, 50, who identifies as a girl was able to use the girls lockerooms to change and swam against nine 13-14 year old girls during the competition held near Toronto, Canada.”

Very strange times.

This has completely passed ludicrous. These "people " need to be institutionalized.
