Dude's not wrong.

I've been in similar arguments on issues relating to Constitutional rights many times over the years. When the government seeks to erode rights, it starts with the undesirables, the people that decent folks are hesitant to speak up for: pedophiles, terrorists, drug dealers.

If rapists don't have the right to free speech, then none of us do.

If rapists don't have the right to a fair trial, then none of us do.

If rapists don't have the right to self-ID as whatever sex they choose, then none of us do.

The problem is, a lot of people will agree with that last one. If #RapistHill is the hill they choose to die on, I doubt there will be a shortage of people willing to accommodate them.
