Help should not come in a way "hello, I am terf, and they all wrong and shit". It should be just supportive "you aren't wrong, I am with you, don't be sad please, it is fine to not like dick, I am lesbian like you [if you are one of cource], don't afraid of homophobes, it is same like 30 years ago, if all they can give hate, then don't give them back your love and don't let them force you to do what you don't want to do", and similar things. And explain her that mob is labeling as "TERF" everyone there who is slightly against their rhetorics, even their own transwomen.

Yeah, I agree I certainly wouldn't send a message like "Hi, I'm a terf, here's some terf articles to read about how we support you" and the last time I saw something like this happen (pxr on tumblr) people were definitely doing that. I'm just saying that even if she says she supports TRA idealogy after getting harassed by them now, there's a very good chance she will change her mind later. But you are absolutely correct that what she needs is support of a non political nature.

As an aside, they really are total assholes for beating up their own supporters. How many people here started off as supportive but got berated enough that they finally snapped?

Isn’t that pretty much where we all came from?

She almost certainly will, but through what she will live trying to apologize and stop harassment before that happens?

You can repost this tweet to /s/GC, maybe someone there can help (just mention that help should be non-political).

I really think the best thing she could do is log off TikTok for a while. And hopefully she has supportive people IRL who she can spend time with. The internet can really be a toxic place.

If those trolls are like on gencercynical, they will follow her on all her other accounts as well.

And hopefully she has supportive people IRL

I hope for that too.
