LGB Alliance recently boasted of a worldwide network of anti-trans "LGB" groups under the banner #LGBInternational

In Ireland, Wales, Australia, America, Canada, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Iceland , Norway and Serbia.

I did some analysis and found some interesting results.
THREAD👇
On closer inspection, the followers of these new #LGBInternational groups are almost entirely a subset of LGB Alliance followers.

They are the same group of people.

They were all mostly set up in September/October 2020.

The only outlier being the group in Spain, which was set up in July, has 4k followers, but still shows significant follower overlap with the UK LGB Alliance.

Who's setting up and running these accounts?

Well, you might see a connection in the below.

Look familiar? This has been tried before, earlier this year fake accounts purporting to represent UK political parties were set up in the same way, all were suspended from twitter.

What conclusion can we draw?

It seems clear this is far less an #LGBInternational movement far more a UK astroturf campaign seeking to harm & divide the LGBT community worldwide. LGB Alliance masquerading as a broad movement.

A UK based hate group exporting their hate globally.
Not only do we export our transphobia, people have been 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀𝘆𝗹𝘂𝗺 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗞 because of how badly we treat trans people.

Think about that. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/british-transgender-woman-asylum-new-zealand-granted-safer-a7996846.html
British transgender woman granted asylum in New Zealand because it is 'safer' for her there

The 57-year-old suffered years of 'persecution', tribunal rules

Is that any wonder when UK media uses dehumanising terms like "trans epidemic"?

Comparing human lives to disease.
To end on a positive.

Just a quick reminder, homophobia was a British colonial export.

Many countries current anti-LGBT laws exist because of colonial history.

The UK's legacy of exporting hate runs deep. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jul/28/britain-reverse-homophobia-empire-criminlisation-homosexuality-colonies
Britain can’t just reverse the homophobia it exported during the empire | Edward Akintola Hubbard

Imposing criminalisation of homosexuality on the colonies was a whole lot easier than forcing them to drop the laws now, says arts and society professor Edward Akintola Hubbard
