We can differentiate between free speech and a disinformation campaign intended to ban lifesaving medical treatments. Similar to how we can differentiate between disagreement and death threats. Such a ban on gender affirming care would deny trans people the fundamental right to exist.
this is absolutely true, however when it comes to things like mail, tampering with mail is highly questionable, i guess if you wished to legally prosecute sending “anti queer” things through the mail, you could. Seems like a waste of resources to me, but that’s an option you have as a society.
i would much rather anti-disinformation be focused on instead. That’s almost always more important, as it generally targets this stuff directly, rather than indirectly.
Presumably the practice of preventing anti-queer disinformation would fall under the more general practice of preventing disinformation. Cis people can benefit from gender affirming care as well, it’s just more regulated for and discussed in terms of trans people.
i assume there are federal laws on delivering mail to people, considering that like. That shits important sometimes.
