Just because something is not "worthy of a captive audience" does not mean people lose the right to say it. The Bill of Rights applies to all people in the USA, not to just those that agree with the government of the day. Otherwise, we'd all be shut down pretty quickly around here.
Just because someone “might” get hurt by me falsely yelling fire in a crowded theater, does not mean i lose the right to say it?
Yelling fire in a theater is a direct threat to the people's health. That is not arguable, it is a plain fact that doing so would put people into danger.
As much as we'd like to believe that "trans is a mental illness" is a fact, it is actually NOT an inarguable plain fact like the previous example. And thus it is protected speech.
Rights are rights even when you disagree with them. As a matter of fact, it is MORE important that they are held up as rights when you disagree with them. Because if they are not, it is that much easier to smash them then next time the 'correct way of thinking' changes hands.
