CENSORED BY TRANSPOLITICS: A MASTERPOST

TIER 1

MURDER

OF PEOPLE WHO QUESTION TRANSGENDER PEOPLE/IDEOLOGY

Psychotherapist Rita Powers murdered by her patient, a transwoman, because Powers didn’t think he was an appropriate candidate for sex reassignment surgery

Note, in the link, that the transgender community blamed Powers for being murdered, saying that if she had just given her patient what he wanted, she would still be alive. In other words, ‘she asked for it.’ Sound familiar?

SOCIAL EXCLUSION, DOXXING, HARASSMENT, GENERAL INTIMIDATION

OF PEOPLE WHO QUESTION TRANSGENDER PEOPLE/IDEOLOGY

There are so many open threats of violence made against trans-critical people, particularly against lesbians and/or radical feminists, that I cannot list them all. So I’ll summarize instead:

WITHDRAWAL OF SUPPORT

Transactivists are known to threaten to withdraw support for feminist causes/organizations if they fail to openly pledge allegiance to transgender ideology. Many such organizations are in desperate need of social support and funding, so they don’t have much of a choice except to go along with what transactivists tell them to say.

The message is clear: “Your rights are important, but validating my beliefs is more important.”

One example:

SOCIAL MEDIA PHASE-OUTS

Ask ANY radical /gender critical/trans critical feminist, and they will tell you: we get deleted, harassed, banned and blocked more than anyone. Many of us have lost real-life friends over trans-critical Facebook posts or even for asking questions. It seems that transactivists patrol Facebook for the slightest hint of “transphobia” so they can pile-on and virtue-signal what a Good Trans Ally they are.

Again, there are too many examples to post here, so here are just a few examples:

TERF BLACKLISTS

Transactivists on Tumblr often make lists of alleged “TERFs” and command their followers not to engage with, or reblog anything from, people on the lists. Some examples:

The “TERF hive” commands trans allies to censor, harass, report, block and otherwise shut down trans-critical sites:

DIE CIS SCUM

This is a popular slogan in transactivists circles. Transactivists argue that their use of this slogan is okay because “they’re more oppressed than cis people.” As you can see in the picture below, it’s a very threatening slogan, especially when tattooed on the body of a male holding a baseball bat.

#KILLALLTERFS

A favorite hashtag of transactivists. Many examples of these open threats of violence can be found on the following websites:

Here is a small sampling of the kinds of threats made against us by transactivists, taken from the 3 links above ^

TRANSACTIVISTS IN ACTION

See it for yourself.

Also worth considering:

These major “feminist”/women’s websites will publish pro-transgender pieces but won’t publish “transphobic” (trans-critical, gender-critical or radical feminist) pieces:

Feministing, EverydayFeminism, Jezebel, xoJane, The Frisky, Bitch Media, The Establishment, Refinery29, Bustle, Black Girl Dangerous…

Autostraddle even blatantly admits to being inclined to give trans*people more money for their writing (source)

Many trans-critical writers have had to resort to publishing on Right-wing websites just to have a platform, even though they do not sympathize, or want to associate, with the Right. (This is part of where the “radfems are conservative” stereotype comes from.)

So now the question is:

WHO’S SILENCING WHO?
