That's a distinction likely lost on the perpetrators.

Sure, but still important to point out that we've moved beyond "We'll commit violence to oppress trans people" to "We'll commit violence to prevent people from publicly wearing clothes we don't approve of." which is certainly an escalation. As far as I know most drag performers aren't trans, and most of the ones I know are otherwise straight. This is fully just "you're not conforming to social norms. We will terrorize a county to punish you."

There's no evidence towards the motive - for all we know it was an ANTIFA false-flag.

We've seen them larping as "operators" at other transgender grooming events - it's no surprise to see such dangerous escalation on their part.

As someone wrote elsewhere, "please stop spewing unconfirmed politically motivated conspiracy theories."
