What Is Trantifa?
“Trantifa” is a portmanteau of “transgender” and “Antifa.” It is said to refer to a branch of far-left transgender activists thought to be affiliated with Antifa, a loosely structured anti-fascist movement that became prominent in the United States during 2017.
As per a recent Newsweek report, individuals linked with Trantifa have been accused of intimidation and violence against opposition views. The group is also said to have an online presence and has presented itself as “the transgender arm of Antifa.”
Antifa itself has also come under fire from various public figures such as former U.S. President Donald Trump. But the Anti-Defamation League adds:
“Antifa’s stated mission is to strongly resist fascism. Although certain far-right militants who identify as Antifa do commit acts of violence or destruction of property at rallies and protests, this is not typical.”
The recent event has reignited controversy over the behavior and legitimacy of Trantifa as a movement, with opponents demanding stricter scrutiny of its reported violent methods.
