How high?
R. McKinnon, Assistant Professor of Philosophy linking to the Pink News article on woman-hating vandalism at Vancouver Rape Relief:
There’s a high likelihood that they’re doing it themselves to drum up more anti-trans hate and fear.
Hours later he was tweeting about hate mail he got from Breitbart readers.
That “trans power” bit makes me suspicious… But I don’t think for a minute that the women’s shelter or affiliates did it.
McKinnon gets better farther into the thread (and by better, I mean much worse. Mr. Die In A Grease Fire is back).

You might be overgeneralizing
The women’s shelter has NO reason to want to make women afraid to come to them, so let’s dispense with the vile insinuation that they did it to themselves.
You need to look at this through Dr. McKinnon’s Patented Rainbow-Glitter Trans-centering Glasses. Potentially traumatizing their prospective clients is minor, unavoidable, inevitable side-effect, or collateral damage if you will, in the great, glorious goal of implicating TRAs, which is the “shelter’s” actual raison d’etre. The whole “rape shelter” thing is clever camouflage; the “rape victims” crisis actors. The only reason anyone can ever have to help women and girls is to stigmatize TIMs. So the single motivation behind a women’s shelter sheltering women only is to piss off trans “women,” not to actually help, you know, women. Similarly, the only point of female only spaces and sports is to antagonize teh Trans. /s
Got a momentary picture of Dr. McKinnon dressed as Elton John. It was disturbing.
I don’t know. They could be riffing on the old “girl power” or “woman power” of the feminists. Since they want to be women, why not want to steal everything women ever did, said, or thought?
Why is “trans power” suspicious?
I’ve been on Twitter about two weeks; I got tired of following links here and then not being able to comment there. I’ve already been deboosted.
Anyway, someone had responded to that comment with a screenshot of RM tweeting “trans power”
