“Blaming trans people for everything” is to FARTs as Three Blind Mice is to the bloody recorder.

2018 September 16, Panic Dixie Scream Girl (@ChaKatKimber), Twitter:Tellingly, FARTs often end up in alliance with other far right movements with xenophobic, white supremacist, and nativist and ethno-nationalist reactionary politics.
