Anti-trans bots

In the bad old days of anti-trans media discourse one had to get an article past editors, publishers, and a sceptical audience in order to find acceptance. Printing was a relatively slow process, with books being published in the thousands and newspapers being chip wrappers the next day. Even in the early days of internet 1.0 it was still word of mouth, a slow process whereby you had to know someone who was part of the in crowd, otherwise it was a stroke of search luck you might stumble across the hate. Social media changed all that, specifically the ability to spam many accounts through which you could easily and readily spread your hate, to the point where you could shape the whole conversation through your sock puppets.
