At first they said it was only polite to refer to someone by their preferred pronounds. Then, they demanded social media censorship. Now, governments are fining, and may soon jail, people who deny the lie that men can become women. This is as terrifying as anything in "1984."

The statement expresses a strong opinion on government actions related to online censorship and gender identity, suggesting a global conspiracy. It uses charged language, such as 'Censorship Industrial Complex' and 'deny biological reality,' which indicates a critical stance on policies regarding gender identity and free speech.

It does not respect the dignity of individuals who may hold different views on gender identity, potentially engaging in a form of hate speech. [-2]

The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, instead framing the issue in a confrontational manner. [-2]

I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
The statement does not engage in constructive dialogue, instead using hyperbolic language to criticize opposing views. [-2]
