Astroturf, astroturfing

A form of spamming public opinion from political organisations via the media.

astroTERFing

The use – by men – of fake social media accounts that pose as feminist women, to object to the rights of trans women to be recognized as women. See also: Astroturfing, TERF.
Most of the people defending this anti-trans bigot are puppet accounts with stock photos of women for avatars. Literal fake women supporting transphobia: typical astroTERFing!
