The NYT comment. Does anyone remember Pravda?

Every time The Washington Post runs a story about censorship of so-called "LGBTQ+" books, I post a comment that goes something like this:

"I am a Democrat, a Biden voter, a gay man, a senior citizen and grandfather to a minor teen. I am opposed to giving minors access to books or other materials in school libraries or public facilities that normalize the scientifically baseless notion that boys and girls should explore gender in order to decide whether they are actually girls or boys, respectively, or no gender at all."

Though my comment receives a few likes, it inevitably attracts critics who mount personal attacks and heap abuse on the position I have stated. If I hadn't witnessed it, I would not believe that the sort of people who defend gender identity ideology are as hostile and uncharitable as Trumpists.
