Hope you're okay. You guys are great. I totally understand the desire to have more people who say they want trans solidarity (yet support authoritarian regimes that hate trans people). The following really showcases the pathology of tankies. It's well documented what transpired and therefore frustrating when inaction happened. I don't blame you, nor do I think you deserve any attacks that happened. I really wish you well, take care of yourselves.

Any attempt at comradeship with a tankie is doomed to fail. Regardless of what they claim, tankies aren't interested in any form of debate, compromise, or exchange of ideas with anarchists or socialists. Their only goal is to give their dangerous ideology an appearance of legitimacy.

They latch onto our movements and gradually corrupt them with their reactionary rhetoric and divide-and-conquer tactics. Their goals aren't even slightly aligned with ours, but they use entryism, shame and cries of victimization to squirrel themselves into our spaces. Their demands for 'left unity' and an end to 'divisiveness' and ‘sectarianism’ are obvious wolves in sheep's clothing and should be rejected outright.

Their only purpose in engaging you is to normalize their toxic beliefs and make us accepting of their presence in radical groups so they can grow their ranks. If you welcome tankies into your spaces, if you engage tankies in civil discourse, if you entertain their repugnant ideas or buy into their absurd notions of "left unity" and enable their attempts to create divisions between anarchists and sow discord, then they have already succeeded in poisoning your movement and rendering it useless.
