Opinion: Nellie Andreeva your opinion has no validity or basis in fact. Your article plays to those of your following who delight in the suffering of transgender people.

I was at a loss to extrapolate on my opposition to the horrific images of Work It until I read Nelli Andreeva's opinion on the Hollywood Reporter. The article was just made to be torn down.

Starting with your article's Headline:
