Do you have any evidence for this generalization? The only overt violent threats I’ve seen on Twitter are men encouraging rape and murder of JK Rowling and other supporters of women’s rights. I don’t know if they’re “right wing” or not, but their surrounding rhetoric is what’s usually associated loosely with the “left”.

But surely this depends on what one happens to see. That’s why I’m wondering if you have any kind of random sample from which you can draw your conclusions.

Definitely not doing the "she's not transphobic, really" argument any favors here by calling transwomen "men."
He didn't say they were transwomen - that was your interpretation.

Perhaps this is your inner transphobe trying to come out?

What you see is anecdotal, not data.
That’s exactly my point.
