It doesn't mean anyone is obligated to listen to or agree with you.
& - that has nothing to do - nothing - with what any privately owned enterprise has to publish, or promote. (This is one station's chat - no kind of Federal case.)
Also - 'Reality has a Liberal bias'. Resent this - &/or dispute this if you wish. The facts remain what they are.
Also - if we really were a Democracy - as we constantly like to proclaim we are - then the clear & unequivocal Will of the Majority would ensure quite another reality.
The majority here has a view you perhaps do not agree with. This too happens. But it is democratic.

Maybe no one’s made a “de-transitioning movie” that’s good enough to attract an enthusiastic audience?
Maybe this fantasy that the reason everyone isn’t rushing to take a bite of every dog turd in the gutter MUST be because “the left is blocking them” is a little tiresome and not helpful in any way?
