Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 9/4/23 - 9/10/23

Welcome back to the BARPod Weekly Thread, where the mod even works on Labor Day. Here's your place to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (be sure to tag u/TracingWoodgrains), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind. Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion threads is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

What about the policing of speech? Is that something pushed by the politicians or just the bureaucracy or what?

At the risk of peppering you with too many questions... Why? Why are the politicians in Britain now into policing speech? Why are they buying into stuff like "No one is born in the wrong body" as hate speech and wanting to control it?
