This is truely optional, just as vaccines are truely optional.
Optional does not mean, and has never meant that there are no consequences for choices. Consequences are fundamental to choices being choices. If there are no consequences, then a choice is meaningless and not a choice at all.
This weird idea some people have that their choices should not have consequences is an incredibly anti-freedom position. This position is stating that only some people get freedom, because everyone else is not allowed to be free to make their own choices because those choices are consequences . That is a dictatorship, where only a few people can do what they want, while everyone else is forced to be do what those people want.
If you want to say you hate my friends and family based on how they were born, that is your choice. If you want to demonstrate through your actions that you do not care about the health of my friends and family, that is your choice. My choice will be that you are not welcome around my frienda and family, and to think that you are a terrible person. We all get the freedom to make our choices, and to deal with the consequences.
Other people having freedom only looks like bullying to the actual freedom hating bullies.
