    You posted an article that talks about the "trans activist agenda". That's is TERFspeak for trans people simply wanting to have their existence acknowledged and basic human rights about that. That's definitely protesting for hate and exclusion.

    It's TERFspeak for "I was tolerant until I felt like they were making me accept things I can't accept because I'm a bigot, then I decided to be an arsehole about everything trans". Basically the level at which they felt they turned full GC.

    Have you ever noticed that, in terfspeak, a 15 year old trans girl is "a biological adult," but a 15 year old trans boy is "too young to understand what he's saying?"

    "Women's spaces" is terfspeak for "cis women's spaces", and it's difficult to believe they didn't know.
