Today I learned some hilarious news, and since I can't add it to my honorable mentions on Wikipedia I'll mention it here lol.The #farright / #antitrans / #antilgbt group #GaysAgainstGroomers (GAG) got mad at me, again!

A quick recap, a few months ago I was banned from all vaguely queer-related articles for being biased against hate groups and bigots, despite a year of agreements that my articles and behavior on them were fine (including GAG's article for that matter)... But anyways, GAG got annoyed when I first wrote their article and never really let it go. Most recent example, a few weeks ago, they complained about me and the article.
https://kolektiva.social/@TheTranarchist/110731377906111487

Now, this was superficially useless, ranting about someone who's not allowed to edit the article and has no say in it at this point. But vandals took their complaints to heart and tried to edit the article. This led to a formal discussion, what we call on Wikipedia a request for comment, on whether it should be called far-right and anti-lgbt. The answer, about 20 to 2, was that it is obviously far right and anti-lgbt. Remember, I had no say in that after writing it, the editing community just overwhelmingly agreed with me that it was a good summary of what reliable sources said about them (as it has every other time this has been brought up).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gays_Against_Groomers#RFC_Anti-LGBT,_Right_Wing_in_lede

They apparently didn't take this well, since they just complained again! Not just asking, demanding, their article be taken down on their website. I learned since editors identified it as a source of vandalism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gays_Against_Groomers#If_you_notice_a_large_amount_of_new_IPs_at_this_talk_page,_then%E2%80%A6

https://www.radar.gaysagainstgroomers.com/post/lies-fallacies-and-fabrications-addressing-our-wikipedia-page

They can't bother to spell my username right, when it's right there lol, but that's hardly the only ridiculous error they've got. They say I wrote an article full of lies and it was locked - I wrote an article full of factual statements, consensus of uninvolved editors has always agreed, and it was locked to prevent their fans rewriting the page as PR for them. They are free to provide reliable sources and ask for changes based on them on the article talk page - any reasonable requests for edits to the article will be met.

Going through their points:
1) "we're not far-right/anti-lgbt" - reliable sources and a recent discussions would beg to differ. Doesn't exactly help how they rant about how trans kids don't exist and teaching kids trans exist is grooming based on pseudoscience... A quote, ""Gender-affirming care" for minors must be outlawed and criminalized on a federal level" - I'm one of those scary trannies who started hormones as a minor btw, it's great, only wish I coulda done it sooner, bodily autonomy for the win!
2) "GLAAD says we call people who disagree pedophiles" - Not exactly stunning their defence is "they said that, but actually they're the ones going after children"...
3) "GAG is promoted only by the right wing" - their defense was laughably bad: "yes, but it's not our fault" LMAO
4) "we're working towards federally banning trans care for minors" - they just proudly admit to this. Proudly bragging about trying to strip the rights of a minority group, right....
5) "we have trucks with transphobic slogans" - just admitting to it. I've no clue why so far half of their points are just agreeing...
6) "we supported an Arizona bill that supports forced outing of trans kids to parents" - once again, just proudly admits to it...
7) "Alejandra Caraballo says we spread groomer libel" - A) she did, B) their defense is they're a nonprofit
8-11) Complaints about Imara Jones hypothesizing they're funded by the heritage foundation. They spend 4 sections devoted to complaining and mocking a black trans woman who's done more more for the queer community than GAG ever has, who they call a "Child mutilation and gay conversion therapy advocate". Transmisogynoir much?

So, apart from listing a bunch of supposedly false accusations they then agree with wholeheartedly, they leave a final conclusion. It both demands Wikipedia serve as their PR and take down an article full of plain factual statements, and also threatens me: "We also invite "TransAnarchist" to reach out and let us know what city they live in so we can drive our Gay truck around and ruin their day. Unlike the pronoun supremacists, we don't get easily offended over everything." First off, feel free to misgender me if you care so much for some reason weirdo. It's the campaigning against bodily autonomy I object to more.

It's kinda stupid they ask for my city, it's on my userpage they screenshotted lol. I'm a born and raised New Yorker! And my solemn New York bitch guarantee? They're free to drive their little van around the village all they want, I'm not gonna waste any effort trying to convince them not to or do anything about it because it'll be funny if they do! It's a big city, and I'm probably not gonna run into them. While they waste their time trying to prove a point, they'll learn in New York we remember stonewall and the black and brown trans women who've fought with everything for rights for all. We've still got many holding the torch. The village, which they talked about driving around, is still the home of many trans people, kids and adults, and trans orgs, many radical and devoted to ending police violence and ensuring trans people have their needs met. So please, please, drive your van through the village! See what happens lol. Maybe the reality check of boos and jeers as you drive around might wake y'all up to how far removed you are from the queer community.

And repeated ad-hominems are not gonna change the Wikipedia article. It's reliably sourced, neutral, and factual - hell in your list of accusations you admitted to most. We are an enclyopedia, not a PR campaign. We don't base things on the opinions of editors but what reliable sources say, be that descriptions or what happened where or who you work with and generally what you're notable for. That's why every Wikipedia article has a full list of references. Don't believe Wikipedia? Check those.

Reactionaries may temporarily ally with some queer people if they think they can use them to push their agenda, but they have no true allyship with them beyond that.

Update, single page: https://files.persagen.com/01/education-new_jersey-transphobia-2023-07-21.txt

N.J. law gives trans students robust protections including the guarantee that trans students have the right to access to the bathroom of their choice & be referred to by their chosen name & pronouns

School officials are also barred from outing students to a parent or guardian.

I haven't mentioned my work on #Wikipedia in a minute, but now seems like a good time. I'll get into why later. I've mostly been busy with things relating to housing rights in New York. Lots of categorization work. Getting ready to start a housing rights in NY task force. I also cleaned up the #NYPD #SRG article! Been chilling away from trans topics for a minute.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Police_Department_Strategic_Response_Group

But, response-worthy, #GaysAgainstGroomers, the #farright #antilgbt / #antitrans group, has once again publicly gotten mad about me! I learned because their fans are insulting me in the article history. I can't mention this on Wikipedia, since god forbid I publicly acknowledge the harassment I receive from these groups or defend myself, but I can mention it here lol. It's honestly kinda sad, they've been publicly complaining about the article for months, but reliable sources and our NPOV and FRINGE policies won't let them define the narrative the way they want. My work there wasn't even really criticized in my ban case, the one admin who said it might have NPOV issues praised my ability to respond to them!

Remember, I was banned from all topics vaguely related to queer people for being biased towards hate groups, even though my articles have almost all had explicit consensuses they aren't biased at all - And funny enough, before and even now months after my ban, hate groups have complained their articles are biased, and editors won't change them. Schrodinger's bias, so apparent I need a ban, so non-existent articles that I wrote are largely stable.

#GaysAgainstGroomers
"Jaimee Michell and David Leatherwood have worked for right-wing communications firms that represented conservative figures who attempted to capitalize on anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment in recent years."

What Is Gays Against Groomers?

"Even though it claims to be a grassroots organization, many believe Gays Against Groomers is funded by right-wing groups that are directly and indirectly supporting DeSantis."

So, #GaysAgainstGroomers, AKA #GAG, got mad about their #wikipedia article. Recap: they're a #farright #antiLGB #antiTrans organization founded by a bunch of #Trump supporters who've worked on right-wing social media campaign to push disinformation and call anyone who disagrees with them "groomers". Kinda a one-trick pony. Naturally, they're involved with people like the #ProudBoys and the #GuardiansOfDivinity, among other far-right organizations.

Nothing warms my heart so much as the far-right absolutely losing it over factual reporting - I'll be grinning ear to ear about this for weeks! As soon as they posted that, the page started being targeted by heavy waves of vandalism, causing the page to be protected LMAO. So predictable.

Since they're not that original, I'm giving it 24 hours before they give up trying to think of something new and just call me a "groomer". I mean, hey, their followers already started on that thread.

The replies are mostly conservatives seething over the sight of a pride flag.

Almost like being the "moderate" wing of an anti-LGBT moral panic, is quite the hard sell for those who simply just hate LGBT people...

This is a video of #MarioEstrada aka #MarioPresents at a #Qanon rally in #Hollywood in 2020. It shows that #qanon and its #SaveTheChildren slogan have evolved into various groups like #GaysAgainstGroomers and #BabiesLivesMatter ( in #SoCal) These groups use #ProudBoys as “security”. There is also a connection between these groups, #LEXIT and #NAR aligned churches like #AwakenChurch and #Bethel. More of an overlapping network than officially tied together.

5. #MarioEstrada explains his shirt which celebrates the murder of Chileans by the Pinochet regime. In a conversation I had with him he told me Pinochet killed “the bad people “. Mario is an activist for #GaysAgainstGroomers, whose founder also posted Nazi propaganda.

1. I took this video in July of 2020 at a #QAnon rally on Hollywood and Vine. #MarioEstrada, then unknown to me was shouting through a bullhorn with his 🌈 flag. Today he’s a #grifter for #GaysAgainstGroomers. In the video, Mario speaks to a crowd as the camera pans to reveal #JacobChansley the #QanonShaman in horns and fur headdress.

Yesterday I went to the LAUSD school board meeting. The #GaysAgainstGroomers group was small and obnoxious. Six “ activists” and 5 supporters doing video for social media. They were outnumbered by pro LGBTQ activists and kids who came to speak about the need to get rid of policing at the schools and replace it with mental health support. The kids were so smart, persuasive and full of clarity. The actual school board meeting had an atmosphere that #GAG could not interfere with. I noticed that one of the people who came with Gays Against Groomers had literature from Turning Point USA. #TPUSA is a project of the #CNP Action group. It’s interesting to me how an organization connected to Ginni Thomas, Mike Flynn, Trump, Koch Brothers, etc is possibly sponsoring propaganda and instigating violence that can erupt on the streets.
