Women who were unhappy with these developments began painting slogans in favor of single-sex women's spaces inside the restroom's cubicles, such as: "If you want a unisex washroom, take it from the men, don't violate women's spaces." In apparent response to this, trans activists in turn began painting increasingly violent threats inside the cubicles. One such threat reads "rape and death to TERFs" and is cynically painted right aside one of the emergency buttons that were installed due to the prevalence of rape on the campus. Mexico already suffers from one of the highest rates of violence against women in the world. | Women who were unhappy with these developments began painting slogans in favor of single-sex women's spaces inside the restroom's cubicles, such as: "If you want a unisex washroom, take it from the men, don't violate women's spaces."

A member of the gang Latin Kings going by the name Synthia China Blast was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 1996 for the torture, rape, and murder of 13 year-old Ebony Nicole Williams three years prior. He was released on parole in 2018, and fully freed in 2022 after completing his sentence.<ref name=reduxx-blast-released/> | |||
Blast had come to media attention in the intervening years for being supported by the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SLRP) and various mainstream liberal outlets, who portrayed him as a transwoman wronged by the prison system. Some activists unsuccessfully campaigned for Blast to be moved to a women's prison. | |||
He appears to have been further radicalized by trans activists while serving time, starting to fester a deep hatred for feminists labeled as "TERFs" by trans activists. The feminist news outlet Reduxx, which covered his past crime and release from prison, reports on how he started targeting their authors with threats and fake social media accounts trying to impersonate them.<ref name=reduxx-blast-threats/> One of his accounts at one point contained the profile description text: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
“TERFs are not only anti-trans they are also anti-men. We must eradicate them before their diseases spread to our young children.” | |||
</blockquote> | |||
Another social media account openly claiming to be him used the display name "HuntingTERFs", and another one used the name "KillingTime1235" while trying to impersonate Reduxx editor Anna Slatz. | |||
