"The founder of a charity for victims of child sexual abuse has hounded a young lesbian on TikTok over her ‘genital preferences’.

Tashmica Torok is the founder and executive director of The Firecracker Foundation, a charity which works with children aged 3-17 who are survivors of sexual violence. According to the charity’s website, Torok “incites riots of generosity and advocates for the healing of children and families every day.”
Hard to square that description with the woman who spent hours bullying and blackmailing a vulnerable young woman for being a lesbian.
A user called @jennytheballerina, a 25-year-old lesbian from Texas, was subjected to 5 separate videos in which Torok attacked her sexuality and described her as ‘transphobic’ and ‘hyper focused on genitalia’. When Jenny brought up the issue of sexual boundaries, Torok told her, “If we are hopeful about creating a community where trans people are not being murdered more than anybody else and particularly black trans women, we need to really unpack some of the ways we talk about our bodies”.
Torok tried to tell her that lesbians are responsible for attacks on trans people. “I will challenge unapologetically any idea that causes more violence to people in my community. And, that’s what gender preferences ultimately lead to, violence against trans people.”
When Jenny asked Torok to stop talking over lesbians, she laughed and responded, “What you’re experiencing, is my fucking grace, okay? And I will speak over you if you’re being transphobic.”
Following these exchanges about ‘transphobic genital preferences’, Jenny felt compelled to create a new TikTok account to proffer her apologies to trans people and entreat for forgiveness. For being a lesbian.
"I am sorry. I did not want to punish trans women by denying sexual access to me by rejecting preop trans women. I am going to a therapist to cure my repulsion… it's transphobic to be repulsed by penises… Trans women are women and I always believed that. The last time I tried to cure my repulsion, it led to a suicide attempt. That's why I was so defensive. Hopefully she has safer methods we can use so I'm not hurting trans people with my genital preference."
Shame on Tashmica Torok. A woman who works with vulnerable children has emotionally blackmailed a young lesbian, browbeating her into giving up her boundaries and accepting ‘therapy’ for her sexuality."
