ID: Is this a pigeon meme where the person is tagged “cis society”, the butterfly in their hand is tagged “trans people having a backbone about anything at all”, and they are asking “is this destroying my free speech?”

      Neither.

      Simply the observation that if the government regulates what people can and can’t say, then by all means, we don’t have free speech.

        Neither? So it’s fine if someone calls you a pedophile with no proof? Or called you slurs (provided you’re not privileged enough to have none)?

        I struggle to believe you’d actually believe in pure free speech if it were implemented the way you’re describing.
