It's an understandable position to hold as definitely people of my generation growing up were taught that that position was virtuous and reasonable. But I feel like after it allowed fascists like Trump and the Jan 6th insurrectionists to proliferate and start taking over America you maybe should've updated your worldview as new evidence became available. No, it is not virtuous to defend books calling for the genocide of trans people, or any minority, under the banner of free speech. Especially when you yourself live under the specter of fascism which is already actively genociding those minorities.

And before you accuse me of hyperbole I must remind you that multiple states in the US have passed anti trans legislation that falls under some of the definitions of genocide, so yes, it is actively happening and if you defend people like this you are literally defending genocidal fucking fascists.
