Like all the other words, (transphobic, terf, etc,) the term 'hate speech' is getting diluted to the point of ridicule.

People will read. The advertisers, the readership. They will read what is being termed hate speech.

Women wanting to talk about a law change, and pointing out that one protected characteristic does not trump others, simply isn't hate speech.

Women pointing out the sexual motivation underpinning the transition of some men, isn't hate speech.

Women wanting safety isn't hate speech.

Even if you vehemently disagree with what women are saying, it still isn't hate speech.

People either think you're a snowflake millennial without a clue, or you have a hidden agenda. The words hate speech are increasingly being put in inverted commas as they get applied to more and more ludicrous situations.

For some people, school girls shouldn't have a right to safety and dignity. Any talk of safeguarding little girls is hate.

Yes. Because it comes second to the 'needs' and desires of men.

Yes - the use of the word "hate" whenever anyone utters the slightest word of scepticism or even asks for discussion is yet another instance of how meanings are being misappropriated.
