sure, we can end transphobia by making it illegal to call someone a transphobe, but why stop there?

we can end bank robberies by making it illegal to accuse someone of robbing a bank!

we can end all gun violence by making it illegal so accuse someone of shooting someone!

we can end all crime entirely just by making it illegal to accuse anyone of doing anything illegal!

what a wonderful world it would be!
