Something to keep in mind is that when a transphobe talks about males, men, or trans identifying males, they mean trans women. He was saying you should punch a trans woman if she's in the bathroom. She's being violent by being there existing, so cis women should respond with violence. Bullshit.

Reminds me of how there was a trans woman working with a feminist music group and a gang of women harrassed her into leaving.

Harassment and hate mail continued until the collective heard of the threats made by the Gorgons. Stone had received death threats in the past, but, she says, “this seemed to be a new order of threat”.

That fear was warranted. Gorgons turned up at a Seattle concert, and had weapons confiscated by security. In a 2014 interview, she described how she was “pants-wetting scared” at the event.

Ultimately, Stone decided to leave the collective. Olivia was in a precarious financial position and there were potentially ruinous threats of a boycott.

So because she existed in a woman's space (no actual member of the music collective disagreed with her being there) they harassed her, threatened her, and brought live weapons to an event she was at. Things haven't changed much with them, have they? Existing near them is a threat, and they don't give a shit how many women, trans and cis, they have to threaten to make trans women stop existing near them.

Did Lineham cross the free speech line into a call for violence? I don't know the law. But I know he's a shit who is making things worse for every woman while pretending he's protecting us.
