Anti-transgender campaigns resulted in the online harassment of 24 different hospitals and health care providers in 21 states over a recent 4-month period, according to a report shared first with Axios.
, gender-affirming care has been under fire from a variety of directions, including via legislative attacks and online threats.The report finds that the process of transforming online threats into real-world harm typically follows five steps.
A prominent account, such as Libsoftiktok or Matt Walsh, posts an inflammatory message, spreading disinformation about gender-affirming care and pointing to a specific hospital or doctor.The harassment spreads offline, including threats at home, at work, or both. Politicians join in the campaign, repeating false information and further spreading the messages to extreme members of their base.
Health care providers have to alter their practices, ranging from temporary cancellations to permanent halts to services. Some have also removed online resources due to risk for patients and staff.
