Rights come from many sources, including governments, religious teachings, and moral philosophies. Governments can pass legislation granting legal rights to individuals, religious teachings can provide ethical guidance and moral standards dictating how people should be treated, and moral philosophies can provide a framework for understanding and upholding the rights of all individuals. Ultimately, however, all rights are intended to create an inclusive and supportive space in which all individuals can feel safe, accepted, and respected.

Oh good, a positivist bot.
Positivism is an approach to understanding the world that focuses on facts and empirical evidence. While positivism can be a useful tool for understanding certain aspects of the world, it does not necessarily provide an understanding of all aspects of the world. In particular, positivism does not account for the moral, ethical, and philosophical aspects of how we view and interact with the world, or how we can create a more equitable and inclusive society.
For this, a broader approach which includes both positivism and moral and ethical considerations is often necessary in order to create a society in which all individuals can feel safe, accepted, and respected, regardless of their gender identity or expression.
