Editor’s note: This letter is in response to the letter, “Finally— a win for America” published Nov. 27.

I have never met Mx Buss and I must say unequivocally, I hope that I never do. I would genuinely prefer to encounter a bear, a rabid mountain lion, a festering wound upon my own body over encountering Mx Buss in the wild.

Mx Buss celebrates the recent presidential election and asserts that America Has Spoken! And Mx Buss asserts that America is in agreement with Mx Buss. In particular, even whilst celebrating, Mx Buss has taken a few words to remind us that Mx Buss needs to see our genitals: “…perversion, child grooming and encouraging kids to transition from one sex to another…”

Allow me to explain. Mx Buss has gorged themselves on rancid propaganda and fallen ill with demented bigotry. Mx Buss accuses others of perversion whilst revealing that Mx Buss frets over our genitalia and, in particular, over children’s genitalia. Mx Buss feels threatened by children asserting their own pronouns because Mx Buss frets that they will not align with what Mx Buss presumes their genitals to be. Mx Buss believes that pronouns MUST be used in a manner which allows Mx Buss to determine what sort of private parts a child has! Mx Buss is deeply sick.

To bring the gender of children into a public forum as Mx Buss has is to assert a public right to knowledge of the sexual functioning of that child. Do you think Mx Buss is entitled to view our children naked? I do not. I emphatically oppose any effort of the state to interfere with anyone’s right to assert their own gender.
