When I read overwrought complaints like this, I can't help but wonder what heretical "revolutionary/exciting" thoughts they are "prohibited" from expressing?" There are lots of courageous people out there challenging societal norms, but without fail it's reactionary conservatives complaining about being criticized for picking on them. Trans kids in Texas? Unquestionably brave and very likely fascinating people. Conservative lawmakers trying to legislate them out of existence and upset about being criticized? Not so much on either count. If the author wants to meet interesting people, they're out there. If he's looking for permission to express his inner monologue, he's not one of them.
