      I guess someone didn't like the comparison to antivaxxers, but in my experience it's an apt one, at least in terms of behavior swarming Twitter threads that they don't like.

          Although some might find the term offensive, much of what is said by them, against trans is equally if not more offensive to the trans community.

          They reported you for inciting violence against women. Then I used the mute button 😺

          Looking at the swarm of replies to your tweet certainly lends weight to your comparison

          I suppose it's not news to you that TERFs and anti-vaxxers are often one and the same. Sigh. *goes back to binge-watching Doctor Who*

          TERF = thought-ending slur, used mostly against women. Antivaxxer = thought-ending slur, used mostly against women.

          Attacking women fighting for their rights, boundaries, and safety? Using a slur against them for having the temerity to acknowledge the biologically sexed basis of their oppression and the fact that human beings cannot change sex? Disappointing. 😐
