Bigotry & Violence

Too many women have been accused of bigotry to catalog them here. These are just a few examples.

Reframing women’s words as violence

Sall Grover founded an app for women, intending to allow trans-women to also use it. However a beta version was discovered by trans activists and she was branded a TERF. Her app has 1-star reviews and she is regularly abused in the media and online.

Now Sall campaigns for women-only space.

“I’ve been called a transphobe for three years now purely because I say that woman is not an identity…”

If you haven’t watched the @insightSBS “Gender Spectrum” episode yet, I highly recommend it. It provides a pretty clear insight to what feminists are fighting against. pic.twitter.com/7mgJtyqUww

"There were people on social media saying that my parents had died … because I had refused to say 'trans women are women.'

There is a raging epidemic of violence against women … and it's become unfashionable to talk about."
