Great, so we agree that Libs of TikTok "just reposting stuff" is done to achieve political goals, with success, that would not have happened without the huge spotlight they control. So when they post hateful content targeted at trans people, they have reason to be afraid.

Yes? It is perfectly legitimate to "expose" things. Nothing else happened a few years ago when people reposted absurd takes of the most dedicated Trump supporters.

What are you talking about? What has exposing things to do with that?
