Probably.

One of Reddit politics subs I posted on got routinely brigaded any time something trans related came up.

What happened was the 'transwomen in prisons/women's sports are a bad idea' posts would get upvoted for the first couple of hours then you'd suddenly have a load of TRA posting and masses of downvotes.

It's very important to maintain the illusion that most people agree with them... But they don't.

Try asking adults if it's okay to put intact males into women's prisons.. near universal head shaking. But if they maintain the illusion that that view is a minority, the public won't speak out.

Hence the brigading.
