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.

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. 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.

I laughed out loud at "skew reality". The internet is a dangerous place for "cis" women far more than it is for men larping as women. I was doxxed back in 2009 on YouTube. My girlfriend at the time was afraid to walk to her car alone at 5am to go to work. Why was I doxxed? Because I said women shouldn't take T. There were sooo many lesbians on YouTube back then endorsing HRT before the surge of TIMs. Lesbians, particularly butches, were the Guinea pigs... I called that shit out 11 years ago.
