Human rights are technically speaking, legal rights. Human rights are null and void without the courts. We claim we have the right of free speech but it is a right modified and regulated by the legal system. It can be rescinded at any time. We may claim to have equal rights but we have only the expectation of what the law provides. If the law cannot define it, it does not exist at least as an administrative right. A man has the right to be a woman because the law has decreed it. A man can play sports on the women\u2019s team and older men can shower with young girls, if the law agrees to this and if the man fulfills the conditions set out in the law. The law can declare a protest is a revolution and character assassination is rape. Nothing exists in a legal sense until the courts say so. On the other hand, if the court says it is so, it is so. But is there another source of rights other than the heavy and often biased hand of the law?
