Source Summary

The TransAdvocate has documented the dirty tricks anti-trans groups are playing in California. We documented how the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) falsely claimed that a trans girl had been harassing cis girls in the restroom so they could use it to scare Californians into rejecting AB 1266, the law protecting trans children. We documented how the PJI lied about there being a police investigation targeting the trans girl. We interviewed and fact checked PJI, proving that they were dishonest time and again. We documented the real-life toll PJI’s lies had taken. We documented the dishonest way PJI modulates their hate. We documented PJI-backed groups lying to the press, claiming that yet another trans kid was harassing cis girls in the restroom. We documented a PJI-backed signature gatherer committing election fraud, by falsely claiming that trans protections for children means that gay men can use both the men’s and women’s restroom.
