To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

I think they’re just virtue signaling over trans people because trans rights are a hot button political issue. A lot of those same SJWs used to make transphobic jokes before supporting trans rights became politically relevant.

If all people who attempted suicide or have mental health issues came out en masse to march for affordable healthcare or something, they would virtue signal for us too.

That's just unfair.

People with suicide attempts and mental health issues HAVE been coming out en masse to ask for equality. SJWs just say "I was once sad, I'm lazy and moody and want to be an asshole to people...I'm totes one of you! Hug me and call me your kin...oh, and go over there where we don't see you, this is OUR high school clique now!"

That's because the concept of “transphobic” wasn't invented until after “trans rights” became relevant.

Not to be a contrarian, but just because someone perceives offense to a statement and attempts to just shut you up doesn't mean they're censor happy, right?

Like this person spoke their mind freely and someone said shut up. I don't think that constitutes a censorship issue.

Censorship is understood as the state prohibiting certain opinions or facts from being made public, essentially forcing them to remain private. Considering that in the situation here, we don't have the state acting, nor do we have an opinion or fact being expressed but rather a question being asked. Then yeah this is likely not censorship.

I think the important takeaway from OP's post is the hierarchy of issues and privileges (remember the privilege olympics meme?). In this particular case, gender > suicide.
