I ought to say that it is of course wildly implausible that there is a causal link between the rise of gender critical feminist ideas & violence against trans women. My point is that even if there were it wouldn't mean that gender critical feminists have to shut up.

Ophelia Benson & I talk about this general point at length in our book "Does God Hate Women?", in the context of the claim that proselytising atheism can feed into narratives that are causally linked to an uptick in violence against religious people.

Some people justify their hatred of trans people by telling themselves that trans people seeks to oppress women & are not equal to females born female. Its pretty obvious from the way "gendercritical" people talk about trans people that they harbor a deep transphobia.
