The full story is a little bit yeesh, probably not a great decision on the part of the organisers.

Even if they didn’t mean it to be threatening, they just handed a PR win to the TRAs.

Agreed especially when the tradition is burning dictators than switching to this. Can't really disagree with the rhee rhee on this one. But should be an indicator of the resentment and backlash spreading. I've long said that if the LGBTQIA2S+ doesn't take measures to reign in the acronym expansion and take measures to address the concerns of their detractors they will experience victory for a time but slowly and surely allow for the buildup of resistance and resentment until such a time as the mainstream viewpoint swings back in the other direction and they are supressed again. Rather than seeing this and asking clear questions like "why do normal people hate us?" They're going with the take "normal people are evil bigots" which just accelerates the process.

I can't imagine why anyone would consider trans women to be dictators.

Funny the reddit flood have learnt nothing over the past week.

This is why you will keep being silenced and bullied. It will be your jobs and bank accounts you lose next, you know.

Sarcastic take aside the real problem is actually that they legitamately can't understand why people don't like them. Very narcissistic.
