Is it ok to criticise someone for being gender critical?

I'm rubbish at explaining this whole debate and whilst doing a bad job, a friend told me that being gender critical was not an acceptable position to take. It set me thinking... between her and me I'm ok with her saying that and we have healthy debates about our points of view. But IIRC it's been called protected belief? What does this mean for its use in a public forum?

Yes it's a protected 'belief', but that hasn't saved Kathleen Stock who was very moderate in her expression

Depends on the public forum and the potential consequences of doing so

Does your friend mean she doesn't think it's acceptable as it's wrong - and you're wrong or are they - rather than disagreeing with you, saying it might be unwise to be open around certain people
