So I hope this explains a little bit about the reaction you're getting. The reaction has been markedly worse because you have stood your ground so shamelessly. If someone actually does come and find you in-game to harass you, though, please report them, because two wrongs never make a right. (Ergo, my apology for making fun of your glam.) If one day you're able to learn from this experience--I really hope you can--then the future will be bright for you, and people will eventually forget all about this. And you don't have to change a thing about your character, name, or account.

You'll be told that you have the right to your own opinion, but you can't go on stage at the Republican National Convention and talk shit about God, Jesus, or Trump without expecting to be beaten up before you get to your car. And you can't police people's (especially not women's) clothing and look in a progressive space. Just like you can't call gay people the f-word or mistreat someone because their character has dark skin. In truth, none of us have the right to have every opinion that exists because opinions lead to ideas, and ideas lead to actions. And in human history, there are countless of examples of good people engaging in really, really bad actions for reasons they thought were really good at the time. Having lived through the 20th-century, we're justifiably wary of certain opinions and any mentality that pretends that bad ones should have no consequences.

Who gives him that right?

Why do the people who disagree with him not have the same right?

I find it kind of amusing when people regurgitate culturally-specific norms and idioms like they're universal rules that apply to all species in the universe at all times. Amusing, but in like a tragic way. Kind of like the time I got into a car accident with this guy who ran a stop light and I broke my hand without it having impacted anything. Like, wtf, hand? You broke because you got nervous or something? (It was probably the strength with which I held onto the wheel to keep from being moved by the force of the accident, but still. Weird, and lol, but also ow, and sad face.)
