I see GamerGate is in the news because it’s coming up to the tenth anniversary. Ten years ago, I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown caused by transphobic harassment from TERfs organised on social media. They were using the same tactics that, months later, would be the hallmark of GamerGate.
And yet the surviving narrative is that this sort of organised, “culture war” harassment originated with GG.
It didn’t. They did it to trans women, and probably others, first, and we raised the alarm, and nobody thought it mattered enough to do anything.
And then they came for the rest of you.
They keep doing this. We keep raising the alarm. We keep being ignored.
Maybe one day people will learn.
@goatsarah i remember. seeing that happen to you really woke me up to the threat this ‘new’ strategy on the side of the transphobes posed to us. Spent a long time feeling like somewhat of a Cassandra on that unfortunately. And like Cassandra, have been proven right the hard way. You can probably relate to that quite a bit.
@marlies Yeah. I can.
These days, my advice to any trans person wanting to get involved in party politics is “run the fuck away”.
No doubt sage advice in most cases. Kinda cool we have Rep @BriannaTitone in CO though
