Feeling trepidation before posting sentiments that have complex and potentially problematic histories within public discourse does not equate to being targeted by cancel culture.

If I post "the Republic party interfered with Donald Trump's impeachment investigation by not allowing witnesses to testify before Congress" on my social media I'm sure I would get some backlash; that does not mean that I have been cancelled. It means that I've chosen to post decisively about an issue that might not be as black and white as I consider it to be.

You think the phrase "males are not females" is problematic?

  • males are not females is not a problematic statement. "all lives matter" certainly has a problematic history and "we should not be giving hormone blockers to children" brings up a pretty complex social issue for a lot of folks.
