I don't quite understand where this has come from
After they were banned from Reddit, trans-exclusionary radical feminists became the latest of many toxic communities to simply build their own platform.
www.theatlantic.com
Kaitlyn Tiffany, despite having a tranny name seems to be a woman, and not one particularly obsessed with pronouns or whatever.
The article is pretty bad, but it starts off ok:
"Mary Kate Fain, a 27-year-old engineer and writer living in Houston, has always considered herself a feminist. Growing up, she told me, she had a pretty standard set of progressive values—her primary focus was animal rights, and her feminism was reflexive, mainstream."
but then it goes down the road of equating women who don't want to gargle tranny cock with Nazis
"Though she’d never had much use for social media before, on Reddit she found a forum—or “subreddit”—where tens of thousands of members, predominantly women, were devoted to the insistence that trans women are not women. “I first found the community while I was still looking for answers,” Fain said. "
Anti-trans feminists have a presence in many mainstream online spaces, including Twitter, “radfem” Tumblr, the Black women’s beauty forum Lipstick Alley, and the British parenting forum Mumsnet.
I think that's pretty much an exhaustive list, and Twitter bans terfs pretty frequently, and Mumsnet restricts them
On these sites and others, they use many of the same trolling tactics as other internet-based fringe political movements to disrupt conversation, skew reality, and make the internet another dangerous place for trans women through doxing and harassment..
Nice links:
"The underlying pattern is demonstrably obvious to many trans users on Twitter. Transphobes are searching for keywords like “TERF,” especially adjacent to words that could be misconstrued to mean something violent, and misreporting users. Twitter is limiting or suspending them, effectively making it impossible for trans people to openly talk about trans-exclusionary radical feminists online."
So trannies said they would kill terfs, which was 'misconstrued' as 'meaning something violent', and Twitter banned them, and this is bad because it's restricting trannies freedom to talk about what they would like to do to TERFs.
Anti-trans activists have used social media to call out specific trans women who use women’s bathrooms, for instance, labeling them “predators” and “pedophiles,” and promising to resist them by any means necessary—be it pepper spray or pistol.
Lol, so your first link from Ovarit says
'I’m done. I refuse to allow men in women’s bathrooms or changing rooms. If I think someone using them is a man, I will confront him, and step in his way if he will not leave.
Edit: Everyone, please be careful if you decide to confront a TIM in a space for women. I’m going to get myself an alarm and a self-defense weapon like a taser or pepper spray.'
So the implication is that the pepper spray is to protect from trannies attacking her for telling him to get out of the ladies room.
And the second link is some ultra-conservative 'Liberty Counsel' woman, who says 'I’m taking a Glock .45 to the ladies room. It identifies as my bodyguard.'
and 'For the anti-gun folks freaking out about my
#BoycottTarget tweet: I can't remember the last time I was in a public restroom without a gun.'
For years, r/GenderCritical, the group Fain joined, was the internet’s largest and most recognizable anti-trans space, known on Reddit as a “major pipeline” into TERF ideology. That abruptly changed in June, however, when r/GenderCritical disappeared from Reddit
It didn't disappear, Reddit banned it. Use accurate verbs.
Reddit responded to pressure from its users in the midst of the Black Lives Matter protests by introducing an overhauled content policy that contained specific rules about hate speech. Its implementation resulted in an automatic ban for r/GenderCritical.
They banned EVERYTHING not pro-tranny. And there was nothing 'automatic' about it, there was a list compiled on against hate subreddits
Almost immediately, she joined a core group of r/GenderCritical members in an effort to rebuild what they lost. In about a month, they came up with Ovarit, a new, invite-only Reddit-inspired platform.
TERFs are far from the only banned communities that have taken matters into their own hands in this way.
Fain and the others settled on an open-source platform called Throat, run by the Argentinian developer Ramiro Bou. Throat was created in 2016 as an alternative to Voat, another Reddit alternative, which was hosting many of the most disgusting former subreddits and had already become unusably toxic—as might be expected of any site branded as a home for conversation too disgusting for 2015 Reddit.
wait, isn't Throat an alternative to Reddit, functionally? And it was advertised as a hate-free alternative to Voat

keeping TERFs in close proximity to trans women comes with a severe price: continued harassment, bad-faith attacks, and implied or explicit threats of violence. Lavery has spent years observing the way anti-trans activists target and terrorize trans women, including herself. “Trans people deserve to be online,” she told me. This is often unbelievably difficult. The journalist Katelyn Burns wrote last year about how the internet is weaponized against trans people. She had personally been doxed, been harassed on Twitter, and watched members of r/GenderCritical dig up and mock pictures taken of her with her children before her transition.
Yeah actually that was Kiwi Farms, I'm pretty sure.
After we spoke, I sent Fain a link to a thread on Ovarit, in which women were discussing their disdain for Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual observance dedicated to the memory of people who were killed directly by anti-trans violence. In 2020, the number of deaths is at least 40 so far. “How many fucking invented holidays do they have at this point?” one asked. “They should change it to Every Day is a Trans Day because they don’t let us stop reading or hearing about them for even a minute,” wrote another.
That's a lie, lol. If someone is murdered during a drug deal or whatever, that's not 'anti-trans violence'
She missed of the link

where the top comment is
"I have no beef with trans people and their allies remembering trans people who have been murdered or committed suicide due to prejudice. I do have a beef, however, with trans activists claiming falsely that trans people are the demographic most subject to violence in the world (that "honor" goes to female infants and fetuses in Southeast Asia/ China), and the demographic most subject to suicide based on society's rejection of them.
Besides the fact that murder / suicide data on trans people due to societal trans prejudice has been shown to be false again and again, the word "trans" itself has shifted meaning again and again, and, I imagine that most reports of violence against trans people don't even begin to take that into account.
I look forward to sometime in the future, participating in a Girls and Women Remembrance Day, a Day that recognizes the deaths of human females due to misogyny and male-on-female violence.
"
oh such hate, imagine not accepting tranny rhetoric on everything, that's just the same as murder.
And considering that these evil TERFs are supposedly so hateful, it's strange that they don't use terms like 'shemale' 'chicks with dicks' and 'tranny', which trannies use themselves, especially on porn sites.
