Far too often people forget that Right to Free Speech is not your first right, and it is superseded by other human rights above it.

Your right to Free Speech only applies as long as it doesn't interfere with other people's rights to safety and freedom from prejudice, hate, harm, etc...

It's not that complicated and yet countless people always fuck something so straightforward up.

It begins with free speech, then you skip a few years and suddenly trans kids are scared for their lives. Speech affects people and has consequence, it is not something to take lightly.
