The fight for the freedom of speech and expression has been ongoing for years, with conservatives typically being on the defensive.

It is important that no American should be discriminated against but this does not give anyone free reign over silencing opposing views or opinions.
The signers pressured tech giants to take action against content that involves so-called “misgendering,” a term that radical leftist gender-ideology proponents use when someone refers to a transgender person according to their biological sex rather than their self-declared gender identity.
“Targeted misgendering and deadnaming of trans and nonbinary people is a widespread mode of hate speech across all platforms, utilized to bully and harass prominent public figures while simultaneously expressing hatred and contempt for trans and non-binary…
