How whiny. Any given view has always had tons of people who would vitriolically disagree with it, when exposed to it. Social media has exposed us to all kinds of vectors of rhetorical violence. Just like if you hook your home up with the IoT and your fridge now has to worry about security, you now need to think about your social security when interacting on the social internet. It's one of the costs of technological progress. On the topic of more serious threats: every sufficiently public figure gets death threats, left, right, and center. Imagine one out of a thousand people are deranged nuts. You might not even encounter them, or they you, in 1950. But nowadays countless public figures can easily reach a million people: that's a thousand nuts you've got to deal with. Hopefully you don't ever come across the thousandth nuttiest nut, and you have my deepest sympathies if you do. On the other hand, if the author is complaining about people simply criticizing her (for apparently thinking there are two biological genders?), she needs to learn to suck it up and argue for her viewpoint, relinquish her viewpoint, or take it in stride. Criticism is not "totalitarianism."
