Tina Traster is an American writer and anti-transgender activist. Traster’s company Broken Hearted Films produced the 2022 anti-trans propaganda piece Dead Name, which was removed from Vimeo for hateful content.
Background
Tina A. Traster was born on May 10, 1962. Traster earned a bachelor’s degree from Boston University in 1983.
Traster has written for numerous publications, including The Bergen Record, Crains New York Business, The New York Post, The New York Times, Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, The Atlantic, The Journal News, Nyack News & Views, Redbook, Family Circle, Parade, Time Out New York, Audubon, and Ski Magazine.
Traster is editor and publisher of the Rockland County Business Journal.
Traster owned the Pot Luck Tea Company, a play on the name Tina Traster Polak.
Traster was married to a British diamond dealer for about ten years before divorcing. Traster then married lawyer Richard D. “Rick” Tannenbaum (born 1961). They have children.
Traster is the author of the 2014 book Rescuing Julia Twice: A Motherâs Tale of Russian Adoption and Overcoming Reactive Attachment Disorder. Reviewer Grace Newton condemned the book:
Traster writes as if she deserves a plaque for doing simply what she promised to do through adoption â parent. The sadness of this situation is firstly for Julia, whose privacy has been completely violated. And she will never get it back. A second sadness exists for the families who are currently dealing with RAD and desperately looking for help. Stumbling on Rescuing Julia Twice in the Psychology or Childcare sections of bookstores, these families may be tempted to use Trasterâs book as a handbook for their own situations instead of seeking appropriate help.
Newton (2014)
Prior to Dead Name, Traster produced the documentaries Catnip Nation and This House Matters.
Anti-transgender activism
Traster subscribes to the disputed disease “rapid onset gender dysphoria,” a controversial diagnosis favored by unaccepting parents of trans and gender diverse adolescents. Traster wrote in a piece deleted by Psychology Today: “there may be some parents who themselves are being rejected because they have not quickly or strongly supported their tween or teen through appearance and name changes, hormone-treatment, and, in some cases, life-altering surgeries.”
Traster spoke with anti-trans extremist Graham Linehan about the deleted piece.

Anti-transgender activism
Via The New Yorker:
Chen and Boghossian had workshopped a pitch to the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, for a project to create âa modern-day Death Starâ to wage âideological warfareâ on the âenemies of modernityâ; their plan involved writing coördinated op-eds and promoting anti-woke content, but it was rejected. Weiss and her friends also sought advice from Niall Ferguson, a historian at the Hoover Institution, about the best way forward.
Green (2023)
 Chen has appeared on Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy and has been a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience.

Taylor Fogarty is an American anti-transgender extremist.
Fogarty was a scheduled participant in a 2017 panel that claimed transgender people are “a homophobic element introduced by the 1% to control homosexuality, reinstate male supremacy, and utilize gay children as fodder for scientific experimentation.”
Fogarty expressed anti-trans views in The Federalist, as well as on YouTube and Twitter (both of which have been deleted).
Background
Taylor Alanah Fogarty was born on October 14, 1993. Fogarty grew up in Richmond, Virginia and attended Virginia Commonwealth University and UnCollege.
Fogarty interned at Wonderland SF, Sarah Liller Design, TARA4BPD, and GoPop, and was an au pair for two months. Fogarty also worked at Zomato, Alice’s Arbor, and Randalls Barbecue.
Fogarty earned a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University in 2023.
Sometime after deleting the virulently transphobic “loudlesbian” Twitter account, Fogarty reported being engaged to copywriter Tommy Preston. They had a child named Eloise Frances Preston in 2023.
Fogarty reports getting sober in 2019. Perhaps Fogarty will someday make amends for engaging in anti-trans extremism prior to sobriety.
Anti-trans activism
In 2017, left-wing conference Left Forum announced that Jane Wheeler (under the name Jane Chotard) would chair a June 4th panel titled âMisery for Profit: Who is Funding the Transgender Movement and the Impact on LGB.â The synopsis stated:
We will be showing that the immense funding funneled to the transgender movement is coming from giant pharmaceutical and biotechnology Industries and what their aim is. We will also be showing how the corporately controlled media is interfaced with these same Industries and are blocking any alternative to the pro-trans propaganda now being disseminated. We will be showing that the transgender movement is not in fact a civil rights issue, but a business arrangement and an advertising arm of these industries. We will cover the implications of this on the LGB community and show how transgender is a political coup, positioned as an ally alongside the LGB, but are actually a homophobic element introduced by the 1% to control homosexuality, reinstate male supremacy, and utilize gay children as fodder for scientific experimentation.
Left Forum, cited in Riedel (2017)
Participants and provided bios:
- Jane Chotard: Chair and speaker
- âJane Chotard is an out lesbian for over 30 years, mother of two teenage boys, past healthcare attorney, currently works to provide better care services to patients and residents facing serious illnesses and end-of-life issues.â
- Jennifer Bilek: Panel organizer and speaker
- âJennifer Bilek is a bisexual artist/activist/writer living in NYC for a lot longer than is probably healthy.â
- Taylor Fogarty: Speaker
- âTaylor Fogarty is a Brooklyn dwelling twenty-something year old who writes about feminism and politics.â Twitter: @theloudlesbian
The panel was canceled following protests. Fogarty complained about the cancellation in conservative publication The Federalist.
