'Any alleged 'right' of one person, which necessitates the violation of the rights of another, is not and cannot be a right.'


"Any alleged 'right' of one man [or woman, or trans-man or -woman], which necessitates the violation of the rights of another, is not and cannot be a right.
    "No man [or woman, or trans-man or -woman] can have a right to impose an unchosen obligation, an unrewarded duty or an involuntary servitude on another man [or woman, or trans-man or -woman]....
    "A right does not include the material implementation of that right by other men; it includes only the freedom to earn that implementation by one’s own effort."
~ Ayn Rand, from her article 'Man's Rights'
