A bit of an open letter/post/plea I suppose.

are you aware that individuals are using the court system to suppress free speech? People like Posie Parker are being pursued legally for speakibg biological truths. they will come for the press next.*

are you aware that some individuals are trying to make ‘misgendering’ a crime? theyll come for you next.*

are you aware that some individuals are trying to erase their past criminal history by using the courts to argue that crimes were committed in a deadname? how do you feel about being unable to report on crime of the perp changes their gender?*

  • are you aware that the CEO of mermaids is alleged to have said in her TEDx talk that her child’s close friend during transition is now a member of the West Yorkshire police’s hate crime unit? Are you aware that in a time of stretched resources some individuals are using the police to intimidate people speaking truths about them?

Are you aware that the group TELI was set up to create legal precedents?

YOUR ability to report and speak is what they will go after next. Once they’ve dragged a few private citizens through the courts to establish precedent they will muzzle you as well.

Yes

being able to accurately tell the sex of a fellow human being is not a hate crime

I use the pronouns he/him for people that I perceive as male
I use the pronouns she / her for people that I perceive as female

There are people who want to control the pronouns that we use, thus limiting our ability to accurately describe our perception of the world

This is a free speech issue

Where are the journalists?
