In my latest for @TexasObserver, I worked with GLAAD to examine trends in bigotry in 2024. At one point last year, Libs of TikTok inspired a nationwide wave of dozens of bomb threats against Planet Fitness locations, among other hateful incidents inspired by the anti-LGBTQIA+ influencer. Almost half the incidents they tracked last year targeted #transgender people: https://www.texasobserver.org/anti-lgbtq-incidents-texas/
