Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to "just get along" / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn't work.

So we should ban every[thing that can] be used to harm oneself?

No. They should all be legal to acquire and self-administer.

Do you also think the FDA should stop having standards for food and drugs?

No. They enforce accuracy of labeling, which is important for people to make informed (consent) decisions about what they self-administer. They should stop making it illegal for a willing recipient to acquire an accurately labeled substance and self-administrate said substance.
