Or the freedom not to identify with your minority. Or not accept the dictates of a group that claims to speak for your minority.

Can NOW dictate your political views? How about Phyllis Schlafly? Why or why not? Can they smear you in public if you take a high profile and won't kowtow to them (knowing you can't kowtow to both simultaneously)?

It's an ugly, slippery slope.

It's like telling Nazis they don't have the freedom to explore their Naziness

Part of exploring one's group is to ask group outliers why they have chosen to affiliate with this alleged oppressor and then actively listen to the answer, not throw cookies at them.
