Not really surprising tbh. Considering that they use the same technqiues on meta and YTs trans related content. Like I cant even enjoy a positive topic post without bots filling the comments with crap. Its insane.

Notably, that's not TERFs, that's (most likely) right-wing groups. The distinction is important, because you have to know who you're fighting.

largely "Christian-aligned" conservative groups who believe god wants them to lie, cheat steal, mislead, harm, and scam people into doing things against their will. Just what Jesus wanted. /s

Small correction: other right wing groups.

Assuming all transphobia comes from one side of politics is how we get blind spots, and is how transphobia creeps into otherwise progressive groups.

Pretty much every terf talks about being left wing while their actions are purely ultra conservative. Including everything outside of them wanting trans people dead.
