Housing and broadband are not, and can never be, rights. A Right can never depend on the labor of another. You have no right to housing. You have no right to a doctor being forced to give you health case. You don't even have a right to clean water. (A good government should always be able to provide clean affordable water, but that doesn't make it a right).

Maybe bathroom usage can be considering a right. But there are biological disparities between men and women. An woman who is a professional MMA fighter can be taken down by a male mid-grade high school wrestler. Bathrooms are about basic safety due to the vast disparity in average size and muscle mass of people in an intimate space. Same with prisons. So while they could be a right, they clearly shouldn't be.

Pronouns are not a right. Free speech is a right. Compelled speech is the opposite of a right; it's taking away an individual's liberty, forcing them to speak (and therefore, eventually think) in a certain way.

"Positive right" sounds like Orwellian double-speak.
