A radical feminist in France -- who wishes to remain anonymous for her safety -- was part of a small group of women, including survivors of the prostitution industry, who organized a protest in Paris on March 7 in honor of International Women’s Day. During their demonstration, they were attacked and threatened with death by trans activists, who had planned their assault in advance. In addition to hitting the women and hurling eggs at them, the trans activists, most of whom were very young, also spray painted the message: “Kill a TERF, save a trans” on the monument where they had congregated. This attack on feminist activism, especially activism centered on women’s sex-based oppression and opposition to the sex industry, is an increasing trend globally. Similar attacks and countless death threats have been recorded in the US, Canada, the UK, and Spain, as gender ideology spreads out of academia and through social media, where such hostility and incitement to violence is allowed to be openly expressed, virtually unchecked.
