A new COVID-19 disinformation campaign is centered around the word “transvaxxite,” an effort to appropriate gender-identity language to promote resistance to taking the vaccine. The trend has also seen anti-vaxxers post videos mocking those posted by trans people speaking openly about their decisions to come out. On Facebook in the last three days, the term has been shared hundreds of times in public posts, gaining over 15,000 interactions, according to data from CrowdTangle, a Facebook-owned analytics tool. However, it’s also being shared in memes which are harder to track. The use of the term is often accompanied by the following text: “I've decided that I'm a transvaxxite. This means that I identify as vaccinated, but in reality, I have not taken the jab. Vaccination is a spectrum and you are a bigot if you don't accept me for who I am.”
