• Boston Children's Hospital Controversy
In August, Raichik tweeted allegations that Boston Children's Hospital was offering "gender-affirming hysterectomies" as part of transgender care, which led to medical staff at the hospital receiving threats.

Following the tweet, the hospital received a bomb threat by phone, leading to a temporary lockdown.

• Hoax News on A Therapist Supporting Pedophilia
In August 2022, a therapist working with incarcerated sex offenders was featured in a video that was reposted by Libs of TikTok. In the video, the therapist shared their pronouns and suggested using the term "minor-attracted persons" (MAPs) instead of "pedophiles", as they felt that the latter term had become a hurtful insult. The therapist also emphasized that individuals with pedophilic tendencies did not choose their attraction and should not be defined solely by that aspect of themselves. However, Libs of TikTok only shared the first two minutes of the video, which created the false impression that the therapist was advocating for the acceptance of pedophilia and encouraging people to be kinder to child sex abusers. In reality, the therapist condemned child sex abuse crimes in the full version of the video. Following the repost, the video was circulated by disinformation networks in Russia and Europe, including Tsargrad TV. The repost provoked a backlash against both the therapist and Libs of TikTok.
