When I was a radfem/TERF, I used people arguing with me to spread my views. It’s one of the most effective ways to spread propaganda. You know you’re not going to get everyone to agree with you, certainly not the person arguing with you but that’s not the point. You’re trying to reach people who will. Now that I left the anti-trans movement I never, ever debate or argue with transphobes. I block them. I’m careful about describing their ideology so as not to help them spread it. I fully support deplatforming, disruption, public humiliation, and other antifascist tactics. Those tactics make complete sense to my now because of my past as a TERF who focused on propaganda/recruitment/cultural influence. Listen to antifascists, not clout-chasing journalists.
