@isasv It’s a pretty pronounced pattern, too: the people most obsessed with free speech often lawyer up to silence others when it suits them. “You’re defaming me by stating your opinions!” (Er… but you’re not insulting people by insisting on gendering them according to your opinion?) @isasv It’s all very simple: don’t be an asshole. The muddle, deep down, isn’t politics: it’s that people who enjoy being assholes know they can’t admit that’s the main point: “I have a right to be a fucking asshole to whoever I disapprove of!”
