Freedom of speech is the right to say whatever you want, not the right not to be offended. As Jordan Peterson said, in order to think, you have to risk offense. Just as an example, your complete disregard for the freedom to say anything that doesn't directly incite violence (such as threats, or suggesting mob justice) has greatly offended me. Do I now hold the right to hold you legally accountable for your post?
No, because an adult can deal with offense. That includes offense from offensive views, such as racism or sexism. It's not the right of the government to compel speech, even if that speech is heinous.
