#TransHate
CW Transmisogyny, hate speech, abuse
It’s come to my attention that a TERF I knew from the detrans rad fem community, Kitty Robinson, was one of the sources of Caroline Lowbridge’s transmisogynistic BBC article. Kitty posted about her involvement on her social media.

Kitty’s been in touch with Glinner, who wrote about trying to get a UK journalist to cover Kitty’s story but failed to because she’s American. Still, it’s possible that Glinner may have been the one who connected her to Lowbridge, who then used Kitty for “background research”.
Kitty has published an anthology of stories from AFAB people who were abused or assaulted by trans women and is using these stories as transmisogynistic propaganda. She solicited these stories using her blog on Tumblr.

The @BBC have added this small correction to the very end of their article accusing trans women of predatory conduct towards lesbians, admitting to failing to include important context about Lily Cade.
Rather than including it @BBCNews chose to bowdlerise the article

#TransHate One of the reasons I could see this happening is that more established anti-trans activists/grifters could see her as competition, a newcomer encroaching on their turf. They wouldn't object to her hatred, they'll see her as a potential rival to take out.
Transphobes are also obsessed with purity and in their eyes certain qualities and experiences taint a person forever. Doing sex work is definitely one of those things. Other TERFs will use this to set themselves above Cade. They like putting others down, including other TERFs.
Not all TERFs will react this way. Some GCs on Ovarit are already hailing her as a hero. But based on what I've seen in the past, I'm guessing the Gendermapper and her friends won't be a fan, because of Cade's past doing porn and naming Buck as a "good trans person".
