I remember it starting about 2011, that was when I first heard of 'TERFs' and started getting curious about who they were and what they were saying on tumblr that was so terrible. Then I started getting my first threats for following wrongthink. I argued back, saying fairly innocuous, still-trans-supporting comments(about as mild as JKR's tweets), and was continually stunned by the hatred and lunacy I got in response. I left tumblr around the end of that year, but the insanity went mainstream and has been snowballing ever since.
