AffiliationsFar-right politics,[a] anti-LGBT rhetoric[b]

Libs of TikTok is a handle for various far-right[a] and anti-LGBT[b] social-media accounts operated by Chaya Raichik (/ˈxɑːjə ˈraɪtʃɪk/ KHAH-yə RY-chik),[10] a former real estate agent. Raichik uses the accounts to repost content created by left-wing and LGBT people on TikTok or other social-media platforms, often with mocking or derogatory commentary.[11][12] With millions of followers on Twitter/X, Libs of TikTok is influential among American conservatives and the political right.[13][12][14]

The accounts promote hate speech and transphobia, and spread false claims, especially relating to medical care of transgender children.[15][11][16] Libs of TikTok posts regularly label LGBT people and mental-health providers as "groomers".[c] Libs of TikTok's social-media accounts have received several temporary suspensions and a permanent suspension from TikTok.[17][20][21][22]

Libs of TikTok posts have resulted in threats or harassment by followers against teachers, medical providers, children's hospitals, libraries, LGBT venues, and educational facilities.[23][24][25][13][26][27][28] Twenty-one bomb threats have been linked to Libs of TikTok's posts.[29][28]
