This is a perfect example.
So Yeaux is allowed this opinion, and there are people on the internet who identify as nonbinary genderflux femme who might be angry that he doesn't recognize this. They might say stupid, ignorant things in response to his opinion. He is still allowed to voice his opinion. He is not being censored if he got a tweet storm from 700 angry femme genderflux individuals voicing their opinion. Such is the world of social media.
Exactly
Unless my post is removed or I'm banned from Twitter for "being offensive" then it's not censorship. And when the enraged replies are (predictably) nonsensical non-arguments, onlookers can decide for themselves who they agree with.
Free open marketplace of ideas in action.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
