There is evidence that individuals identifying as allies of the transgender community—often referred to as "trans allies"—are capable of making threats and perpetrating violence against those they disagree with, though the scope and frequency vary widely and are not systematically tracked.

Trans allies have been recorded intimidating or physically confronting speakers perceived as anti-trans. These incidents sometimes escalate to shoving, property damage, or verbal threats, as reported in outlets like The Times.

  • On social media platforms, individuals identifying as trans allies have been observed issuing threats against critics of transgender rights or policies. Examples include doxxing attempts, calls for job termination, or threats of physical harm. Posts analyzed from social media sources often show heated rhetoric, e.g., “TERFs deserve what’s coming” or “punch a transphobe,” though it’s unclear how often these translate to action.
  • A 2023 study by the Network Contagion Research Institute on online extremism noted that some pro-trans activism communities exhibit "dehumanizing" language toward opponents, which can precede real-world aggression, though specific violence stats were not quantified.
  • In 2022, a Canadian activist identifying as a trans ally was arrested for assaulting a journalist covering a protest against gender identity policies in schools.
Trans allies, like any group, are capable of threats and violence against those they disagree with, and incidents have occurred—ranging from online harassment to physical altercations.

The same could be send about many topics. I have no problem with people who have differing opinions. But I am not altering mine out of fear.

Like this, Barfly?

If sporting competitions are separated by gender, then requiring ALL contestants follow the same rules is not transphobic.

But when a biological male tries to compete in female competitions, they have an unfair advantage in most sports.

Athletes are required to compete as the gender they were born to.

The physiology of men and women is different. Men will have advantages in most sports.

Are you sure?

Are these statements transphobic, Barfly?
