When I was younger I was very pro-free-speech, then around age 20 or so I became woke. Then I got cancelled and it snapped me out of it. It turned my whole world upside down.

There’s no guarantee of free-speech in the US except from our government. (even that has restrictions) You aren’t guaranteed free speech on internet platforms, nor are you shielded from the effects of what you have said. Was there a certain statement that got you cancelled or was it a number of things?
@nothingplanet Basically I agree with the radical feminist viewpoint that women face unique challenges on the basis of their sex, not gender identity.
@realcaseyrollins @nothingplanet Being a guy in a dress has basically negligible consequences. Women face issues because they're physically weaker than us and because they have wombs (the ability to make babies, which is something we consider a commodity).
Women spend hours putting on makeup and wearing sexualized clothing like high heels because they are positioned as lowly people in society. Makeup is oppressive. Imagine if men wore makeup. Imagine that everyone around you does it, and if you don't you're a freak. You have to literally paint your face, and it takes up to 2 hours every morning. It's no wonder women get paid less, they have to do a great job on top of a rigorous morning routine to make sure they look beautiful.
Would you like to wear makeup every day? I'm guessing not. So why would a man choose to wear makeup every day? This is really just an example, but there are 100 different ways people identify as trans, I don't even know where to begin deconstructing them all.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @nothingplanet "Only an average" still means 98% of them. Men and women are sexually dimorphic. Just go outside and look... if you think there are millions of in-between people you may be spending too much time on the Fediverse. To be clear I'm not talking about their hairstyles or clothes, but about their physical bodies. They are smaller and thinner. Huge women who can beat up men are extremely rare.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @nothingplanet I think you may be underestimating yourself. Arm wrestle with some women you know, just give it a try. It's possible you're right, but it would be rare. There is a significant difference between the sexes, even at the edges.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @nothingplanet Well, now we're in the territory of whether a cat with 3 legs is still a cat.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @nothingplanet First of all, what specifically are you arguing against?
I think grouping women together there doesn't make sense.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins Okay. Why do more women get murdered by their husbands in heterosexual relationships than husbands murdered by their wives?
> The majority (73%) of family violence victims were female. Females were 84% of spouse abuse victims and 86%of victims of abuse at the hands of a boyfriend or girlfriend.
> While about three-fourths of the victims of family violence were female, about three-fourths of the persons who committed family violence were male.
> Eight in ten murderers who killed a family member were male. Males were 83% of spouse murderers and 75% of murderers who killed a boyfriend or girlfriend.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins This is murder though, big difference. You can't just pretend a murder never happened.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins In general men are more likely to be victims or perpetrators. Women are less likely to be victims or perpetrators.
you can spin this data in a lot of ways, I think drawing the conclusion "women are oppressed because they are weaker" is a bit of a jump from the data which is "women are more likely than men to be murdered by a romantic partner"
