The report gives examples of hospitals and doctors receiving hostile or angry communications, threats, and specifically, the false bomb threats against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-ma\/pr\/westfield-woman-charged-hoax-bomb-threat-against-boston-childrens-hospital\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boston Children\u2019s Hospital<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The report insists, \u201cWhat occurred in Boston is just one example of coordinated campaigns of hate, violence, and harassment being waged both online and offline against health care providers and children\u2019s hospitals simply for providing age-appropriate, best practice, medically necessary medical care to transgender youth.\u201d However, its claim of offline violence remains abstract and assumed. It provides no examples of actual violence.<\/p>\n<p> Accusations of Hate Speech <\/p>\n<p>Detailing what it argues is a coordinated campaign to target pro-LGBT organizations, the report notes: \u201chate speech accounts such as Libs of TikTok or Matt Walsh, a known transphobe at the alt-right news site The Daily Wire, post an inflammatory message full of disinformation about gender affirming care and call out a specific hospital or doctor by name.\u201d The alleged campaign continues with \u201cright-wing politicians looking to rile up the most extreme members of their base join in spreading the same transphobic rhetoric from their platforms, in some cases going so far as to introduce legislation to regulate children\u2019s hospitals and gender affirming care providers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The final \u201cstage\u201d of these campaigns involves hospitals discontinuing transition practices for minors or legislative efforts that heavily regulate or ban said practices. The report concludes by placing responsibility on social media companies, arguing, \u201cSocial media companies have a responsibility to act and to not be bystanders while angry mobs intimidate LGBTQ+ people and our allies into silence.\u201d Continuing, \u201cWithout intervention from social media companies, this will just lead to more hate speech, more threats, and more violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again, without citing any actual examples of violence, the report\u2019s implication is that all negative interactions, from tweets to illegal activity like bomb threats, are essentially equal.
