1. Una Campaña Estructurada y Financiada.
Los textos describen la desinformación como una campaña deliberada, organizada y financiada por grupos conservadores y de la derecha religiosa. Esta estrategia busca utilizar a la comunidad trans como un tema de división para atacar al colectivo LGBTQIA+ en su totalidad.
- When i say that there is an organised disinformation campaign against trans people, this is the core of it.
- Disinformation funded by right-wing groups like the heritage foundation and the adf is increasingly driving the anti-trans narrative in elite political and media circles.
- It is a structured and funded disinformation campaign that originated with religious conservative right wing groups, primarily in the us. It was a wedge attack on the entire lgbtqia group, and was ramped up after marriage equality.
- Trans people have been targeted deliberately as a wedge issue with a huge disinformation campaign in the anglosphere. It’s been planned and coordinated among the international far- and religious right.
2. Consecuencias Reales: Violencia y Políticas Dañinas.
La difusión de narrativas falsas tiene un impacto directo y peligroso en la vida de las personas trans. Fomenta el acoso, la violencia y el retroceso en políticas públicas, poniendo en riesgo el acceso a la atención médica, los derechos básicos y la seguridad personal.
- Dangerous disinformation endangering trans lives under the guise of protecting cis-lives. This sounds absurd, but the danger is all too real.
- This stuff is really dangerous. Not only are transgender americans simply not committing violence at a disproportionate rate, they are far more likely to be the victims of violence spreading lies and disinformation only increases that risk.
- This is part of a dangerous trend of weaponizing disinformation to scapegoat trans-americans & others trump targets. Right-wing influencers are turning entire communities into national punching bags, fueling harassment, violence, & policy rollbacks that strip away rights & dignity.
- The hope that it will lead to dire repercussions violent or otherwise for trans people is the reason this disinformation and misinformation is created and promoted.
- Disinformation, and other bs can be deadly in this situation. The lies, half truths, and people talking out of their ass directly affects the transgender population, putting them at risk, and is now resulting in the loss of basic human rights and proper medical care.
3. El Papel de los Medios y la Política.
Se acusa a figuras políticas y a medios de comunicación, incluso a algunos considerados de centro, de ser cómplices en la difusión de esta desinformación. Al legitimar puntos de vista extremistas y tergiversar la ciencia, han contribuido a un cambio negativo en la opinión pública.
- There is a large, wide, and successful anti-trans disinfo campaign that we (scholars/activists) are failing to fight successfully. Because it's being supported by both right and centrist media.
- Over the last three years the nyt relentlessly spread disinformation about trans ppl, elevating extremist views, championing bigots and misrepresenting science. During that time support for trans ppl dropped:
- Make no mistake, the nyt’s anti-trans disinformation campaign made this possible. Sulzberger and kahn legitimized hatred, spread falsehoods and endorsed pseudoscience over medical science.
- Disinformation campaigns led by idiot politicians like trump are dangerous to transgender youth. Educate yourself!
4. La Lucha Contra la Desinformación.
Desde la comunidad trans y sus aliados surge un llamado a la acción para combatir activamente estas narrativas. Las estrategias incluyen la verificación de datos, la educación a nivel comunitario, la creación de espacios seguros y la exigencia de responsabilidad a las plataformas y medios que propagan el odio.
- "disinformation is a threat, not only to trans and gender diverse people, but to rights and freedoms of all people, and a robust democratic society. This brand new guide gives you the information and tools to fight back against anti-trans disinformation" .
- We need to start fact checking bs claims like this before wasting our energy combatting them. He’s an anti trans bigot and his claim is blatant disinformation.
- Demand the new york times stop the disinformation and use science, legitimate healthcare professionals and trans voices - not right-wing messaging - when covering trans issues now.
- One of the ways we can fight disinformation is by changing culture at a grassroots level. For me, it’s making safe spaces for (all, including trans) students to be themselves, and their visibility and existence automatically fights disinformation.
