Yeah, the edition I read had a preface that seemed specifically written to prevent those kinds of interpretations. I wonder if it was written by a female relative of Nabokov's.
It's well written, but maybe too subtle

I mean, this is clearly the same kinds of magical immigrants who steal all our jobs while sitting around claiming welfare all day.
dude, Notepad even has Copilot now
Pretty sure no type setter or graphic designer would use Word for anything else than making Word templates.
I managed to get a few chapters into "Lolita" before I decided to put it down. It's well written, but so very creepy. This text is like it's written by the main character – maybe even a more honest version of him.
The military is majority conservative, the same with the police, private security, and even the local gun club. Normalizing political violence is just about the dumbest thing the left can do in the US.
I don't know that they want to, but as economic inequality increases it will happen. Without a middle class, there's not much of a market for high-end bleeding edge gaming PCs
the plausible deniability is getting thinner and thinner - this time it was that the whole video was jungle themed, so obviously it had nothing to do with racism!

My experience is that Linux Mint is the closest we have to a "it just works"-distro that is also decently up to date. Try that first.
It is possible to harass and shame people by misgendering them, e.g. by conspicuously and repeatedly referring to them in the third person. I think some people do try to chase trans people off the public square using tactics like that. Beyond that, my gut feeling is that if it's a belief that's presented honestly and curiously, those philosophers would want it expressed.
The whole trans debate is a bit of a mess in this regard, I think. For trans people, it is very personal, and it's been jazzed up so much by the whole culture war bs. Everyone who has an opinion on it, seem to finish presenting it with "END OF DISCUSSION", not really in line with those enlightenment ideals.
Let me rephrase: it can, and probably will, get worse. It is not in the left's interest to hurry that process along.
