I tried doing that earlier today and found once the o key is hit a menu bar comes up and will not clear off the screen. It's completely unuseable for the screen readers I use too. Can the original forms options menu be forced on the command line?

It looks like a simple User-Agent redirection they have implemented

lynx -head https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/

gives me a 301 response to the home page

but

lynx -head -useragent=Mozilla https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/

gives a 200 response and the requested page loads

You can just set the U-A header to something they haven't blocked in
lynx options.

links works, though it reports an invalid certificate first.
