It’s not the right wing that’s trying to enforce stupid pronouns. It’s not the right wing that was silencing folks on Twitter. It’s not the right wing that was punishing “wrong speech”. The left is way, way more oppressive than the right… of course you’ll want to bring up the one single issue, “body autonomy”, but outside of that… how is the right wing against free speech?
Putting aside from the long history of conservative censorship, just in the last year in the US. Book banning, Don’t say gay act, extremely rich lobbies pushing propaganda and silencing uncomfortable truth, Elon Musk sabotaging Twitter, history erasure and revisionism, repression of dissidents.
You are mistaking public opinion with the government.

All of those things are free speech. They are not the actions of a government, just people that disagree with you. Which makes it aaaaaaaaall free speech.
Others have already given excellent responses, so I’ll not repeat what they’ve said. But I would just like to ask that you reflect on the idea that removal of bodily autonomy and enforcement of preferred pronouns are in any way equivalent. On the one hand, people literally unable to make decisions about their own body, their own health, and their own future, on the other is people asking you refer to them in a particular way. I’m genuinely curious, do you view those things as being on the same level?
Yes, it’s the right wing that’s all about the cancel culture and throwing fits…
Glad we’ve established that.
