I think you can tell a lot about how rigorous and committed someone’s belief in a human right is by how quickly they are able to name people who they think could or should have that right taken away.
Like “X is a universal human right. (This doesn’t include Y people though)”
Either you think X isn’t actually a human right, or you think Y aren’t people.
“Yeah, but if they broke the law/are a felon/are a criminal then…”
Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail
I am begging yall to remember that the government who gets to dehumanize criminals also gets to decide who the criminals are.
why is there even so much debate it’s literally just stripping certain people of their freedom of speech
