What a place of privilege- to be upset at the folks standing up for marginalized groups. I just don’t get it. Like truly, what am I missing?

It’s unreal. The only physicians who cry out about “mob Twitter” are those defending harmful narratives

This is true of damned near everyone on Twitter who cries "mob twitter," not just physicians.

They're literally defending the right of someone to say something stupid and not face consequences for it. It has nothing to do with free speech and nothing to do with rational, civil discourse.

Yep. Freedom of speech does NOT imply freedom from criticism or consequences due to exercising that freedom.

Also, notice the kind of speech that is being defended. It’s almost always the same sort of speech: racist, sexist, or transphobic.
