Neither has sympathy for the woke, neither declares their pronouns, chooses their gender, or seeks to cancel those with whom they disagree.

At least Rhian said "I have reservations about drag queen story time because I think drag is an essentially sexualised performance unsuitable for young children."

Side note- When reading John Stuart Mill people often seem to quote the beginning of "On Liberty" (On Freedom- Negative Freedom- freedom so long as it doesn't affect the freedom of others) but not the end- in which Mill acknowledges that "everything affects everything- and he doesn't know what to do about it" so negative freedom actually doesn't work. But few things are ideal. Perhaps negative freedom reverts to the positive freedom, virtue based freedom described by Plato, Aristotle (Nicomachean Ethics), Nietzsche (Genealogy Of Morals) and others.

Rhian said "Why does “freedom of gay story time” make you feel like a “slave”?"

Answer- Traditionalist and heterosexual people may not be able to relate to gay culture but feel that they are unable to control the gay education of their own children in the face of unrepresentative gay politics that isn't representative of their views. "a government that is not of the people by the people for the people is a tyranny".

Its unfortunate when an ardent fascists tries to present himself as a moderate liberal/conservative, some say Hitler and Mussolini did that at times, Trump certainly does. Then there are minor players who get on nondescript forums and continually rail against other extremists like "communists", mentioning them in 90% of their diatribes.
