The problem with "hate" speech laws is that they aren't actually banning hate speech, they're banning true speech. The hateful people are allowed to say whatever they want like: "your children should be taken from you because you refuse to transition their gender." See, that's hate speech and should be punishable. What they call hate speech isn't actually hate speech.
Some of the most vitriolic stuff I have seen from what someone has said hasn't come from that person saying something hateful, it's from that person saying an uncomfortable truth. The challenging of someone's core belief as a lie, a myth, a confidence trick - that is what causes them offence.
