I'm not saying legally. But as people we should tolerate it way less. Hence why it's good for platforms to not allow it. There doesn't need to be laws, just more social pressure or consequences for this kind of hate speech.

So basically, the extent of the public discussion should be, to a large extent, decided by large multinationals reacting to vocal activists? And you don’t think that could ever come back to bite you?

Do you have anything other than slippery slope fallacies? "we shouldn't take a stand against a because what if they take a stand against x?" Still isn't a good point. I think it's ok for people and cooperations to take a stand against bigotry.

But it’s not a fallacy, we’re watching this in real time. Feminists are being banned for saying that women don’t have penises. If you think this cannot turn around and bite you then you are hopelessly naive.

A. Some women have penises, that's a fact. TERFs are being banned for saying that because it's a hateful falsehood B. If the actions protecting marginalized people get bad, then I'm against them. We shouldn't kill bigots, but we should take their platformhttps://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/slippery-slope

A. It’s really not. It’s a biological fact that women do not have penises. B. Can you not see just how foolish it is to rely upon big business enforcing whatever is fashionable? What do you do where ‘marginalised’ interests collide, like Islam vs lgbt, or feminism vs trans?

TERFs aren't feminists. They're an irrational hateful outlier. And trans women are women. Any actual feminist supports us. Most Islamic people are fine with LGBT people just like most christians are. The ones that aren't are extremists that don't deserve a major platform.

As a point of fact, you are wrong: 1. Yes, terfs are an outlier. But only to the extent they’re a faction within a minority (feminists). In terms of believing women have pensises: the overwhelming majority say, quite correctly, no:https://m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/06/13/transgender-bathroom-rights_n_5492286.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9jb25zZW50LnlhaG9vLmNvbS9jb2xsZWN0Q29uc2VudD9zZXNzaW9uSWQ9M19jYy1zZXNzaW9uX2I2YzMxYTU4LWMxMjEtNGVhYS1iMGI2LWJjMmVjMjczNTQ4YyZsYW5nPWVuLXVzJmlubGluZT1mYWxzZQ&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAG-xNx1Tnu9gVxAvx5NOqqJjQng74VjmUkNnPN89DHSQRB-spXZTtPj1oZnH_vfTuQSUDal016HbYDEEtDxNrrqT4kUv7h_GBfhO3tXITUk4FK_RJhQVjK2YoCZSMq-ne0o6xolHTY_teVl8hsb4bct4Lm0tm4DMpQtNJRc5TSEJ …

The overwhelming majority in that article is 41% at best.... Did you even look at it? Also, really anyone who things genetals are gender needs to pick up a biology book.

You’re reading that the wrong way round, only 26% of people believed in ‘self determination’ in respect of bathroom use. That will include people like me who don’t ‘believe’ in trans but couldn’t care less what bathroom people want to use. So at least 74% don’t believe in trans.

All of which sounds slightly cruel..I’m actually perfectly happy for people to dress and call themselves whatever they want, use whatever bathroom they want, and certainly not to be attacked for doing so. Just don’t ask me to believe it.
