Not surprising but still disappointing that the first response to this was a hate-filled rant that I deserve to be attacked. The person claimed my article never mentioned that people who self-identify as "transgender" are attacked, which shows they didn't even get to the **second** paragraph that mentions just that. They read the tile and immediately want to the comments to launch a tirade against the author without reading a single thing in the article. All speech is permissible except speech that attempts to silence others and that's what this hateful person attempted to do by saying the author deserves to be attacked.
