Is "KILL TERFS", "RAPE TERFS" & "LOOK AT MY GIRL DICK" what we can except in the real world?
1. I'm the CEO of a platform for females & know I have a unique insight into the single sex space debate. I see it play out in real time.
During our 1st MVP test phase, 1000s of TW onboarded & created "KILL TERF" profiles.
Are we supposed to take these seriously or not?

Is "KILL TERFS", "RAPE TERFS" & "LOOK AT MY GIRL DICK" what we can except in the real world?
It's a really important questions to ask, because not only do women not want to read stuff like this... we don't want to physically experience it either.

This behavior has *added* to womens fear.
You can dismiss it if it doesn't suit your agenda. But if you do, no solution to ensure the safety of *everyone* will be found.
Imagine getting a rape threat.
When that statement is put into the context of the admission prior to it, it's scary for women.

They remind us of when we were raped, of how easily it could happen again. They remind us the threat is always there. Possible.
This is why female only spaces are so important - even online. Now as much as ever.
But women DON'T have to use their trauma to justify the want and need of a female space.
females can say "we want female only spaces" & give no further reasons.
We didn't make those rules. But we can use them. We've got reasons, but we're happy not to use them.
I want trans women to get to experience this with other trans women. To find confidence & camaraderie to celebrate who they are. To be safe.

Great bit of journalism here by Sophia :) fun fact, we had some verrrrry interesting conversations about what exactly the Trump campaign might be doing on TikTok.
So let’s talk about that!
Super glad I could be of help btw :P
Anyhoo: my background = senior web dev, data analysis a specialty, worked in online marketing/advertising a while back
You’ve got this big TikTok account that’s ostensibly all volunteer, just promoting Trump’s app because they’re politically minded and all that.
Noooooope. They’re being paid.
Sophia says it’s just possible (journalist speak I assume) but I know exactly what I’m looking at and these guys, Conservative Hype House, are getting paid to drive traffic and app installs for Trump.
So how do you know that, Claire?
Welp, they’re using an ad tracking system that has codes assigned to specific affiliates or incoming marketing channels. These are always ALWAYS used to track metrics for which the affiliate is getting paid.

Donald Trump has spent the last few months trying to ban TikTok.

But I've found videos that suggest his re-election campaign might be using a TikTok hype house to track how well pro-Trump messaging performs on there. My story and a \U0001f6a8 thread \U0001f6a8 below. https://t.co/2XWLTRKLqq
