This is exactly why I asked if anyone could clarify for me, I didn't understand what was really being put on the political table here. Thank you for elucidating, the language used to write these proposals is often confusing for me. I understand that's often done purposely by the people submitting such legislation, so I usually have to find someone who can understand it better then I can.

    That's fair. I do apologize for my tone, but I'm queer and a core of all these attacks on free speech are directed at the LGBTQ community so I tend to get heated about it, especially if someone seems to dismiss the importance of protections like that.

    I understand. I'm ND so it's hard for me to pickup social cues as it is, text makes it especially hard to figure out emotion or intention at times.

    Thank you again for helping me understand a little better. 😁

    I have ADHD (diagnosed) and also likely autism (undiagnosed), so I understand.

    I ended up figuring out a specific way to write online because people seemed to intentionally assume the worst interpretation of what I said, usually adding meaning I didn't.

    Unfortunately, because the way I write is semi-formal I now regularly get accused of using or being "AI" I guess it's because I "use words" and "know things".
