Well, yes… While the GIL restricts execution to only a single thread, CPython makes threads take turns on it without regard for your code - so a thread can give the lock up to another in the middle of a critical section.

Let me put this in simple terms - if you give money to an organisation that successfully lobbies to ban gender affirming care, and then a trans person jumps off a bridge because they couldn’t get the care they need, as far as I am concerned, you pushed that person off the bridge.
