OMFG, it's trans ideologues who are the most hateful, spiteful, violent, despicable people on the internet today. This is diabolical. The letter you wrote is extremely tame considering how vile, cruel and ignorant they've been.

What I would like to know, seriously, is how the Left gets away with labeling any idea that conflicts with their’s as hate and harmful? This is so very, very unconstitutional and anti-societal.

I used to be a huge Etsy shopper but I will no longer purchase anything from them. I am angry and upset about what they have done to detransitioners like Laura and the people who support her.

Not only is Etsy hurting the financial well-being of people who advertise on their site, but they are also damaging people emotionally. It is hurtful to be characterized as a hateful person when one is simply trying to survive, get along and build a sense of community. I am constantly surprised by the extent to which trans activists and other critical theory activists project their aggressive, judgmental intentions onto others.

We can flood their content moderators with reports on the specific items that promote violence against women. I've reported several today. Just keep flooding them with reports of violent material.

I closed my account with Etsy last year when I discovered they had any number of Hate TERF pins, badges and other items. I'm not using a platform that encourages hate. Even if it's deemed the 'right sort' of hate. I feel sorry for the sellers, but I'm not lining the pockets of biology deniers.

If genitalia doesn't assign gender, how does removing genitalia affirm gender? As long as the Medical Industrial Complex can make a buck, this will not stop. Children are to be protected, not defiled.

Advocates Protecting Children made a little meme asking if “gender is a spectrum” then why is transition only valid in one direction (towards the drugs)?

God. They are literally everywhere, pulling the strings of everything! And yet they scream oppression and being the most marginalised. My arse! 😡

If I recall correctly, Etsy has been offering sex dolls in the form of children. How does that square with this treatment of people with perfectly legal opinions?

Hi Christina,

I clicked on the Etsy link from Laura's web site and it took me to her Etsy shop which DID include all her de-transitioner awareness items. Is it possible that they have reconsidered? Or have they just not pulled it all down? Hoping the first is true!

I don't know why people think it's "cute" or "cool" to wear explicitly or implied violent messages on their bodies for the whole world to see.

But then again, I guess I'm the lunatic because I don't identify as a slice of cake 🦎🦎🦎

Thank you for writing this! I messaged Laura through Etsy and ordered directly from her- screw Etsy! Those terf items infuriate me.

Just crossed Etsy off my list. And I was about ready to spend some good cash on objects for my home remodel.

Sounds a lot like they don't want them to exist...where have I heard that before? Hmmm..

I don’t know much about it, but an app called Public Square is supposed to be supportive of vendors with conservative values.
