Not commenting on the particular issue that the GP used to illustrate their point about free speech but because Elon has definitely raised concerns about censorship on twitter before their comment is relevant. A sizeable stake in the company should presumably give him some influence in determining twitter's policies.
(Also, I think your comment breaks several of the 'In comments' guidelines)
- swores 5y agoYou're right my comment does technically, but in my defence it wasn't responding to a good faith discussion about free speech, it was responding to a bad faith transphobic talking point. But yeah I could've made that point more politely.
- daft_isnt_it 5y agoIt's not transphobic to point out material biological reality. This accusation gets thrown around far too easily these days; it's really losing its power. A few years ago, if someone was accused of saying something transphobic, I'd think, wow they really must have said something horrible like a slur or an abusive remark. Nowadays, I just assume that they mentioned a previously uncontroversial fact relating to biological sex.
