The argument is that people are allowed to make fun of each other. That’s freedom of speech and they can suck on that.

    But we're not talking about "making fun of people" - which also isn't the same as the active demonisation, villanisation and sometimes even dehumanisation of trans people, especially from the media and in politics, rather the topic is about laws actively being made against an entire demographic of people.

    And freedom of speech is protection against being arrested for your speech. It's not relevant since no one here has suggested anyone be arrested for it.
