...and I don't see how society can legally stop people from choosing their own lifestyle. The problem is that liberals want to legislate morality which is a contradiction in concepts. The traditional standards, let's call them Biblical Standards, are not necessarily legal standards.

Biblical standards have long been codified into law. It's only in recent decades that fornication and sodomy have not been enforced or have been removed from the law book--to the dismay of many. Sodomy is still a felony in VA. I know that because I was on the jury for a sodomy case. And I'm old enough to remember blue laws. Much of the abortion issue is wanting to get a religious proscription codified. Advocating for criminalizing religious proscriptions is not respecting people "choosing their own lifestyle."

The problem is that liberals want to legislate morality which is a contradiction in concepts.

As far as legal imposition on personal liberty being placed on the general population on behalf of trans folks, I don't recall having seen anything yet. The closest I know of would be regulating bathrooms to provide special accommodations. Which doesn't seem to have legs. Maybe I'm forgetting something.

It is neither better nor worse when the left advocates to restricts liberties. The left advocating to remove restrictions on liberty, aka civil rights, is not the same thing.
