I'm all for strategic engagement with gender crits. A lot of the time fighting with them is pointless or helps their cause. But there needs to be counter-recruitment efforts, de-radicalization, ways of supporting and protecting the people they attack, etc.

I've seen attempts to just "block terfs" backfire and lead to recruitment. Not hearing counterarguments to gender crit propaganda can make people more vulnerable to it. I saw this happen so many times on social media sites like tumblr.

I get not wanting to waste time and energy on arguing with transphobes. But I worry that too much disengagement can be just as harmful and counterproductive as too much of the wrong kind of engagement.
