If you post content on the internet, it's not reasonable to expect that no one will find issues, disagree, or even directly confront you over the content you post. While outright, persistent harassment is undeniably a problem, the 'solutions' proposed to solve it invariably impose onerous restrictions on freedom.

If 'harassment' is to be filtered content, then you must appoint someone to decide what is harassment and what is not. This person (or algorithm) will select what they view as harassment based on their ideological position. It's a far simpler and less dangerous task to block or ignore unwanted information than it is to filter every tweet, email, and status update and decide if it qualifies as 'harassment' or not.

This is a problem that transcends identity. There is an urge to control the discourse. It shows up when basement-dwellers harass a medium author for posting an article they find goes against their ideals, and it shows up when people like Curtis Yarvin are denied entry to conferences because they post political opinions that others disagree with. Some indie game devs get harassed to the point where they feel too unsafe to stay in their homes, and some indie devs have people persistently trying to make them unemployed and unemployable.
