Yeah, I'm not a big fan of deplatforming or any of that palaver, but the man is making extremely sinister posts threatening people he disagrees with ideologically. There's really no equivalence between that kind of fucked up open intimidation and disagreeing with a uni lecturer over what the word 'woman' means. We need to stop pretending that he has any justification for his behaviour and that he should be shielded from the consequences because we're so fair minded we'll put up with any thuggery under the guise of free speech.
Free speech, says the free speech advocate, allows you to make your views known. Intimidation and threats have never been a part of legitimate free speech. They are antithetical to the whole idea.
