Contains text: "The error seems not sufficiently eradicated, that the operations of the mind, as well as the acts of the body, are subjects to the coercion of the laws. But our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God. The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty genders, or no genders. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." (With apologies to Thomas Jefferson who I am quite sure would agree with this any way.)
