I understand this, but the way this is being presented by the right leaves more to be desired. Once they post this, pro-LGBT people say "why are you against people being themselves?" or "how does this affect you in any way?" The right-wingers unfortunately do not provide reasoning alongside the tweets as to why these identities are a negative, which would help them make their case better.

They would probably get their accounts suspended or face real life termination for coming out against them.

I don't know how citing science, statistics, history etc. would push the poster over the edge vs. simple statements that this is brainwashing, when they're already being ostracized for speaking against it. The LRG tweeter merely followed gender critical accounts (and Blaire White somehow), while not fully justifying why she follows those accounts or why she believes transgenderism isn't good for society.

Then you must be new to the world. If everyone could post scientific arguments without reprisal, we wouldn't have to witness this:

There's a moratorium against any scientific argument that calls into question equality. It's been that way since 1945.

That makes sense. But are simple "this is bad" arguments reprimanded on this level too, or are they treated less harsh.

The line for what is considered offensive is being rewritten everyday.

Regardless, we have places like this to provide such facts.
