Y'all I wish being trans paid well, or at the very least meant you could be paid for interviews for books like this, but these books never actually interact with trans people. The book is just an exercise in "making up a guy to get mad at".
Edit: also, this book doesn't even stand up to basic fact checking. She claims George Soros gave to Human Rights Campaign in 2010 ( even if she was right, then it was mostly a marriage equality group, not Trans rights), but actually he gave to Human Rights Watch, a general human rights abuse watchdog. She also claims that the ACLU is a trans rights org, but all funds received were actually earmarked for ending mass incarceration. Planned parenthood similarly spends 1% of its budget on trans Healthcare. Similarly, many of the orgs directly mentioned received minimal funding, around $10k. Which is not what I'd call "bankrolling an international movement". Others received nothing, like Mermaids UK.
She really didn't do that absolute basics for fact checking and shes threatening to SLAPP people for calling her out?
