God knows we have plenty of examples here of trans activists threatening violence against their critics, but in Spain it's even worse:

Two Spanish psychologists are under siege by violent trans activists at one of Spain’s top universities following the release of their book critiquing gender ideology.

In February of this year, Drs. José Errasti and Marino Pérez Álvarez published a book titled Nobody is Born in the Wrong Body: The Success and Misery of Gender Identity. The book was intended to provide an academic critique of queer theory, and refutes current transgender trends in medicine and psychology as a byproduct of postmodernism.

Not sure about that "refutes", but yes, they're quite right. The rot can be traced back to Judith Butler and the growth of postmodern queer theory. And no, despite the vapid slogans, nobody is born in the wrong body. But of course you can't say that.

Immediately after the release of the book, Errasti and Álvarez began receive disturbing threats from trans activists across Spain.

At a conference for the book held at the University of Palma in April, a photo of Errasti and Álvarez with death-like crosses over their eyes was circulated by activists looking to brigade the event. The conference was ultimately cancelled due to the overwhelming threat of violence.

Later that same evening, multiple police vans had to protect the entrance of a book launch at the Casa del Libro in Palma de Mallorca, but that event was similarly cancelled due to the risk.

Another event for the book at a store in Barcelona was met with similar threats, and also had to be cancelled after police informed Errasti and Álvarez that activists were intending to set the bookstore on fire.

But a fresh wave of terror has erupted at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) this past week, where graffiti has emerged around the Faculty of Politics buildings threatening violence against “transphobic professors.”

While neither psychologists are currently teaching at the school, the threats were written on the pages of Errasti and Álvarez’s book.

Threatening to burn “TERFs at the stake” and leave bombs under the cars of gender critical professors, some of the signs have been marked with the slogan “the Inqueersition” — a clear reference to the group of powerful institutions within the Catholic Church established in the 12th century to punish heretics.

The inqueersition. Perfect.

On October 27, a trans activist group claimed responsibility for the signs, issuing a short Twitter statement that the action had been prompted by the discovery that Errasti and Álvarez’s book had been stocked in the University’s library.

The Asociación TransMariBiBollo (LGBTI), which loosely translates to the Trans-Sissy-Bi-Dyke Association, wrote on Twitter: “We are tired of transphobia on the part of the teaching staff and the UCM. We want all transphobic books out of our libraries and an end to hate speech on our campus.”

LGBTI had reportedly taken out all copies of Errasti and Álvarez’s book from the library and destroyed them in order to make the signs.

No debate; no discussion – just threats of violence and the destruction of books. I think we know which side the trans activists are on, despite the "progressive" claims.
