- About a week ago, a fairly new todon.nl user jumped over from BlueSky to harass a trans woman on fedi.

- That harassment is based on a lot of very niche queer politics from Tumblr.

- This harassment has escalated into the todon.nl user making at least five fake accounts to dodge blocks.

- Todon.nl has taken no actions to stop this harassment.

  • That shit was already garbage in the late 2000s when folks like @F3715H showed it to me…
    • Needless to say it's just a firm of covert hatespeech against trans* people…
    • Spread by the same folks that did the Anti-Trans propaganda on RT…

This is in response to my initial report when the post first went live, the takedown request I made, the follow-up, and my communication with his instance host on defamation, and the legality of defamation in the Netherlands.

I am now receiving random attacks every few hours wherein I now have to use scripts to auto-suspend any remote users on brand new accounts, and this has been going on for 2 weeks now.

You shouldn't harass anyone, but moderation this negligent should require a fediverse-wide response.

I am not going to post screenshots and I am not asking you to block anybody.

My hope is that instance admins will learn to identify this sort of conspiracy-based transphobic harassment and protect their users from it when they see it.

If you ignore the homophone, TIRF is so meaningless as to be nonsensical because:

- Being trans-inclusive is a good thing.

- Radical feminism is just any feminism that has the goal of abolishing patriarchy.

Most modern feminists are both trans-inclusive and radical feminists.

It feels strange to call a feminist "trans-inclusive" or "radical" because those things are kind of just the default.

The entire point of the acronym is that it's pronounced identically to "TERF".

It's obviously cruel to call trans women TERFs, so people who want to be cruel to trans women reverse engineered an acronym to do that.

That makes it really easy to to identify this sort of extremely-online transmisogynist harassment.

- There is a conspiracy theory that trans women all hate men and want to force everybody to become women.

- Trans women are impacted by misogyny and sometimes talk about things like feminism and patriarchy, just like cis women do.

- People find a trans woman talking about feminism, and then justify harassment with the conspiracy theory.
