I reckon this BashBack business is going to backfire

Thinking about the overreach, the threatening behaviour, the way that Glinner getting arrested made a lot of people go "What the hell?!" and think again...

We on here, and our ilk, know what these men are like. But out there, not so many do. So if they do start showing up in force to things, damaging property and screaming at women, the rest of the world will start see what they're like.

It's all a bit more of the Project Sunlight and #letthemspeak really, isn't it?

Not to mention the damage that the FoxKillah is doing to his reputation (if that were actually possible), by publicly supporting them...

I heretofore dub them Bash Backfire.

Very strange I started a thread about them earlier in the day and nobody responded.

It's been a sunny day so I was out! Maybe just timing?

Sorry, I didn't see that! What are your feelings on it?

I think, as I said, it's going to go very badly for them, in terms of public perception of men in dresses who just want to pee.

The bit of information that the public typically misses is what is considered to be transphobia.

I think most people think transphobia comprises of actual harm, hatred or discrimination. When they hold this in mind, many (perhaps most) are sympathetic. If/ when they realise masked men are screaming, shouting and threatening women who want to meet to discuss single sex rape shelters - not so much.

I also think that, still, a lot of the public assume that men-who-think-they-are-women have had some kind of major physical change. Not just dropped a bit of oestrogen and dyed their hair.

Interestingly, I'm just perusing a Reddit thread about this, and even some of them are having their doubts:

Wait is this organisation a real thing? It legit looks like transphobic propaganda please don’t tell me actual trans people are involved in it

I’m all for vandalism but make it artistic and non violent ffs

There are more comments like that. If even the TRAs think that Bash Back poster is a bad look, it really must be.

That balaclava-ed Bash Back operative must be very small if they have to use both hands to hold a claw hammer like that.
