Trans activists have turned to online sabotage to disrupt enforcement of laws they oppose. Utah recently introduced a reporting form to enforce H.B. 257, which protects sex-designated spaces from intrusions by members of the opposite sex. However, trans activists flooded the system with false complaints in an attempt to overwhelm and disable it.
Prominent trans activist Erin Reed justified this tactic by stating that it would make it difficult for the auditor’s office to sift through legitimate complaints. Similar actions have been taken in other states as well, to hinder enforcement of laws preventing certain activities.
In Missouri, a tip line set up for reporting concerns about gender transition interventions had to be taken down after activists flooded it with false reports. This made it harder for legitimate concerns to be addressed and investigated.
Critics argue that such laws encourage harassment of trans individuals and cisgender people. They claim that these laws could lead to negative consequences, but there is no evidence to support this. In contrast, men have been known to exploit these policies to target women and girls for harassment and lewd behavior.
LGBT activists have convinced individuals that they are being oppressed when laws are put in place to protect them from predators. This can put women, girls, and transgender individuals at risk. By using bullying tactics to undermine the enforcement of laws they disagree with, activists are endangering real people.
Overall, the actions of these activists hinder the protection of women and children from inappropriate behavior and make it difficult to enforce laws that aim to create safe spaces for everyone.
