Ok, so I should probably get fired for saying "Hi" for the female coworker not on my team: because how do you know where to draw the line?

If that's a serious question, then it would indicate you literally have bad enough social judgement that you probably shouldn't. Almost nobody would consider that a serious question, so if you do then the onus is on you personally.

That was not a serious question. I just wonder wher it all leads. Immune system, when it has nothing to do starts to attack the body itself.

As someone with an autoimmune disorder this is a poignant metaphor!

Putting aside the over-simplification, when we no longer have to contest with discrimination in the workplace, then sure, we have to be cautious about misuse of those protections. But until then we have to fix the situation that we are in now.

If it was not a serious question, then it was disingenuous and unhelpful.
