Conservatives want free speech to harass and put marginalized people at risk then they declare that any restrictions on that is an attack on free speech while at the same time calling for bans on books they disagree.

What a bunch of hypocrites.

Exactly what's happening in Alberta:

UCP: "Parental Rights™ are why we are not allowing youth to choose their preferred names and pronouns!"

Public: "Lets just ignore the dog whistling in those capital letters for a second; you're saying that parents who, in consultation with medical professionals, want to help their non-cis children in transitioning will be supported, because you support parental rights?"

Danielle Smith: "Fuck no. What a ridiculous question. You must be a pedophile for even asking that. I can't abide icky trans people in my province while I'm premier. I was elected, so only my opinion matters. What do doctors have to do with anything? They're not parents and Parents Know What's Best For Their Kids™."
