Free speech absolutist. Don’t apply anything - wokeness, post-modernism, or anything else - to determine who needs more protection from offensive, hateful speech. Maybe the right approach is to let all speech in, while providing objects of offense with the resources to cope.

To take it back to the parent post, if Jews need to listen to (purely hypothetical, if you don’t think it really exists) offensive calls for, or similar to, genocide, then trans students who hear people refusing to see the light on pronouns need to do the same. And then the school can provide coping resources - because the real world can be pretty damn offensive. I’m fine with education including instruction on coping when feeling offended.
