It's easy to say that when you define conservative opinions as breaking the rules or harassment. So they get banned for hate and harassment instead of just being conservative or right leaning. Congrats you won on a technicality.

So both sides are right, and yet the conversation between the extremes moved backwards instead of finding common ground.

That's literally what they did. "misgendering someone" is hatespeech/harassment. When from a sane perspective outside the woke cult: Humans aren't clownfish and cannot change their gender.

The emperor's new dress doesn't make him a woman.

Hit the nail on the head here. Hence, the medical community's current response is to adjust the individual's body, appearance and treatment from others to match their gender as closely as possible.

Except there's a difference between harassing people in particular and just stating your general opinion on some topic.
