    It’s freedom of speech. Being able to say what you want and suffer the consequences of your decisions is what it is all about.

      Oh you mean like specifically disallowing people from calling someone crazy unless that person is gay or trans? How the fuck is that “free speech”?

      I can post some violent fantasy online and meta won’t allow you to call me crazy for it, but if you call me crazy because you think I’m gay that’s just fine?

      Except it’s not really “freedom of speech?” You can’t normally say someone is mentally ill - the verbiage is that you can specifically only call LGBT people mentally ill.
