Depends on severity, once you damage someones reputation they may suffer from hardship, either monetary, social etc'.

9 people have been jailed in 12 years. (Check the citation, which sends you to a Database.)

They aren't really at odds.
Political Correctness helps create equality, reduce discrimination, reduce vitriolic attacks against various demographics.
Freedom of Speech, again, before Political Correctness was even a "thing" never entitled you to say whatever you desired, there was always restrictions on what you can say... And that would have continued with or without political correctness.

Hence why you push for equality first, once you get everyone equalised, you can then see who needs to be focused on.
