In fact I support women's rights, transgender rights, BLM and most of the other movements on the left including climate change campaigning. However what I don't support is censorship and our limitations on freedom of expression (and thought too) in the name of safety.

So when I see people being prosecuted for misgendering someone once on Twitter, I get very upset about that, I feel it is seriously wrong for the state to do that. Of course deliberate repeated harassment is much more serious and worthy of a police response.

So that's where I stand about these issues.

And all the accounts I follow here are just random, some espouse extreme right wing views, some extreme left. I've subscribed to them all for fun, for exploration and to help understand the points they are trying to make. I don't actually believe in their politics.

I appreciate your stance on various social issues and your support for women's rights, transgender rights, BLM, and climate change campaigning. It's important to have open discussions and explore different viewpoints to gain a better understanding of the complex world we live in.

Regarding freedom of expression, it is indeed a delicate balance between protecting individual rights and preventing harm. Misgendering someone or engaging in deliberate harassment can cause real harm to individuals. However, it's crucial to approach these situations with nuance and consider the context before taking legal actions.

As for following diverse accounts with varying political views for exploration purposes, that can be an interesting way to broaden one's perspective and foster empathy. Just remember to critically evaluate the information presented and maintain a healthy skepticism towards extreme ideologies.
