Why does choice matter? I could choose to indulge my fabulous side and cross dress, but the social rejection wouldn't be any less painful.
Yes, choices do have consequences, but social exclusion based on those choices can still be critiqued.

Well, personally, I would say you are born with a fabulous side so you are just being true to yourself. Congrats and have fun!

The problem is you are making a choice not only to believe in something completely void of fact (you can be ignorant if you want to be I guess) but you are also making a choice that HARMS society as a whole. When a person's choice guides them to discriminate a whole group of people based on some stories written a few thousands of years ago thats a choice that deserves to be critiqued. If your choice guides the people you vote for to be anti-science yeah, that choice deserves to be ridiculed.
Honestly, I don't think it does; traditional protected classes, after all, include things that are just as much choice as political ideology (particularly, religion.)
