I’m pretty close to the free speech community. Most of the active advocates aren’t left or right, more like traditionally liberal and have problems with authoritarians on any side. The people who want to say what they want, while silencing views they don’t like - they’re way too numerous and they’re terrible. I cherish all five elements of the first amendment as completely essential.

My daughter and her bestie call each other bro all the time. I refer to them as you guys all the time too. Some language that sounds gendered is in fact, not. I’m not ever trying to be a dick, but I refuse to walk on eggshells either.
