Attempting to silence political speech you disagree with is the definition of making yourself the arbiter. Is it really so hard to understand? When you stand up and say, nobody may express this idea that I disagree with, you are placing yourself in control of the debate and that will never be accepted.

All you're doing here is acting in an entirely totalitarian manner, by expansively defining entire segments of human thought off-limits on the grounds that they're "offensive" - in your mind. So what? Your position right here is offending me, because it's an attempt to disenfrachise people like me who disagree with you. So by your own logic you should recuse yourself from this debate and never speak of your views ever again. Presumably you won't do that, which is how you can tell your position isn't coherent.

By the way, the left constantly promotes policies that are offensive and disenfranchising. Just look at how they treat straight white men. Not big fans, shall we say? Anyone can turn your position around and claim feminist ideas should be banned from discussion because they are offensive and disenfranchising towards men.
