In many parts of the world (not the USA, btw) women are legally property. If we can’t talk about it, how can we stop it?

Trans people are mentally ill.

Well, boo hoo hoo.

Lefties hate it when anyone speaks truth that they disagree with.

Fascist Pantywaists has a nice ring to it.

Both of those things are rude. But not illegal. The censorship regime and cancel culture has to stop. If you don’t like what someone says, or just disagree or have information to provide then you can either ignore them or rebut them. That is the American way.

Yet somehow it’s probably true that Amanda Yeo participated in and still agrees with the appropriateness of disparaging Christianity and white men.

The American Psychological Association (APA) is clear that being transgender or same-sex attracted are not mental disorders, as neither cause significant distress or disability

You couldn't tell that by looking at posts on meta and x and other social media outlets.

How does this work for non “free speech” countries?
Eg, china, Saudi Arabia, etc..

Are they now ungaged? is this merely in “free” countries?

What happened to what they used to call Gender Dysphoria?

If someone calls women “property”, people will ignore it, argue against it or ridicule it. What Amanda is really upset about is the artificial consensus that she and her ideological fellow travelers are trying to create won’t be enforced by censorship. If someone calls a “trans-person” mentally ill and she doesn’t like it, she can write a community note.

Well, homosexuals, as well as “transgenders,” are mentally ill.
