You never answered my question, if I gave away a PoS coin is it Permissionless?

Only if the coin is anonymous.

But in a certain way, it ends up being permissionless, because sooner or later, you can stake.  And then, you can decide to include this transaction.  So sooner or later, you can give away a PoS coin, even if all others don't want you to do so.

The reason why an anon coin IS permissionless is that nobody knows what transaction has to do with whom.  Then transactions are fungible. And you cannot single out a user to deny him access.
