Kudos to Pink News for not trying to sweep this story under the rug.

Still, I think that the wokesters are so deeply asleep that they don't see the problem here.

What Ms. Baker said was disgusting, and I denounce it. But, I also think that These United States have it right in regard to the First Amendment. In this country, what Baker said is completely legal, as it should be.

I'm sure a lot of wokesters would be on my side in saying that Baker shouldn't be jailed because of what she said. She was definitely, rightfully jailed for other things.

That said, if there are wokesters on my side, who think that what Baker said should be protected speech, how badly written and randomly enforced would the woke speech codes have to be?

If silence is violence. If dead-naming is violence. If misgendering is violence. How can calling for the punching of TERFs not be violence with anything resembling moral consistency?
