Wonderful. One thing I want to ask you—and it’s a personal question, so you don’t have to answer, but hopefully you will—many of the social moderation efforts to censor content online have been driven by the woke left, at least here in America. Some of the groups behind a lot of this censorship have done so at the request of LGBTQ organizations. What I find to be rather interesting about you is that not only are you Taiwan’s first digital minister, but you’re also the world’s first transgender minister. Given the fact that so many in the LGBTQ community have pushed for censorship of language or content they believe is disrespectful to the trans movement or the LGBTQ movement, what kind of attack have you received personally from individuals in that community who may have accused you of fostering a community of hate simply because you seem to be pushing for a true free-speech absolutism—which also means allowing for people to say things that may offend you?
