    The changelog shows that this section has been added sometime between Oct 30 (last version before Nov) and today. Some possibilities:

    1. disinformation to discourage the movement. I find this most likely given that “Trans” did not appear anywhere in the original article until this was politicized in the US. The updates between versions inserted anti-trans language in multiple places throughout the article.
    2. Or, if this is actually part of the SK movement, then I have not heard anything TERF related for the US movement. The US movement probably should rename or otherwise distinguish itself from that.

    Either way, I do not think this should be a point to discredit the movement. It at minimum does not seem related to the US movement and IMO is likely some clever FUD attempt to undermine the movement before it gets traction.

      Just be aware that people might be into 4B for the purpose of man-hating. A lot of times man-hating extends to transphobia.

      The ideological basis is strong.
