A trans TikToker was the target of a conspiracy theory. Transphobia fueled the hate, experts say.
“Sabrina is more likely to be in danger as a trans woman or as a gender-nonconforming person than she is to be the danger,” one TikTok user said.Dec. 3, 2021, 5:47 PM UTCSabrina Prater’s TikToks are like millions of others on the platform: They simply show her dancing in her home.
Experts say this type of conspiracy targeted at transgender people is not unexpected, and the internet gossip surrounding Prater likely stems from a history of media portraying transgender people as villains or dangerous people. Online rhetoric similar to Prater's case can have offline ramifications, especially for members of the transgender community, some experts say.
People who live near Prater have claimed they would seek her out and post videos of her online, Lois said. Others have doxxed Prater, sharing her address and images of her home. O'Hara, who uses they/them pronouns, said biases against transgender people can lead to"increased rates of poverty and homelessness, something no person should be mocked for experiencing."
