    it’s only one side that’s calling for that

    I don’t think this is due to some ideological commitment. The strong can suppress the weak, but the weak can’t suppress the strong. Whichever side has the upper hand at the moment will have members calling for censorship.

      Currently the weak are suppressing the strong though through their scare tactics of labelling anyone that disagrees “transphobic” or “bigot” or “nazi”.

        “It’s bad to be transphobic, bigoted or a nazi”

        “you call anyone who disagrees with you ‘transphobic’ or ‘bigot’ or ‘nazi’”

          What’s happening however is:

          “Maybe don’t experiment on children by giving them irreversible puberty blockers and surgeries”

          “Transphobe!!! Bigot! Die fucking Terf nazi!!!”

              Chemo isn’t experimental though. There are experimental types of cancer treatments and guess what? They go through years and years of trials and tests. You know what hasn’t done that? Puberty blockers.
