You can discuss all of those things just fine, both now and then. I have, and never got banned for any of them.

The problem is online/MAGA conservatives don't want to discuss those things. I've never talked to any online conservative who had anything new or interesting to say about any of those things.



And in soviet Russia you can criticize the government all you want --- as long as you're criticizing the American government.


“A man can never be a woman” and “ok dude” got people banned on old Twitter.


Well the first is just plain old bog-standard bigotry. What was the "ok dude" in response to?


No ‘a man can never be a woman’ is a fact and mainstream view. Disliking your sex isn't an innate characteristic and you have no right to force others to believe your illusion or participate in your gender performance.

More to the point you just claimed discussion of these matters wasn’t ever suppressed and then attempted to suppress discussion of them by claiming this was bigoted.


You're denying the existence of a marginalized group and claiming, "there is no bigotry here!" You see that that is risible, right?


People with gender dysphoria exist. THey are not marginalised: they have the same rights as every other person has. It is not bigotry to not participate in their gender performance, because gender performance is not an innate characteristic, as already mentioned to you in the comment you're replying to.
