Some of the account's posts have resulted in harassment against teachers, medical providers, children's hospitals, and LGBT venues.[11][25][26][27] Libs of TikTok regularly slurs LGBT people, as well as those who provide mental health services to LGBT youth and LGBT sex education to students, as "groomers".[c] Its followers "routinely attack individuals whose content is shared",[21] and several dozen incidents of online or real life threats and harassment against a range of targets have been linked to Libs of TikTok's tweets, especially those where Raichik singles out specific events, locations or people.[30] Fans of Libs of TikTok say the account simply reposts publicly available content showcasing "sex and gender ideology".[31][32]

Libs of TikTok was originally the personal account of Raichik, who has continued to be the account's owner. Created in November 2020, the account became Libs of TikTok in April 2021. Libs of TikTok began receiving media attention in August 2021, including from conservative commentators and news outlets. Raichik remained anonymous until her identity was revealed in April 2022 by both software developer Travis Brown and The Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz.[22] Raichik runs the account by herself full-time and lives in Los Angeles.[33] In August 2022, Libs of TikTok received substantial media attention after falsely claiming that gender-affirming hysterectomies were being provided to minors at the Boston Children's Hospital and at the Children's National Hospital. This resulted in a harassment campaign against both hospitals, including bomb threats. Libs of TikTok's videos have also been promoted by Russian and European disinformation networks, particularly a Kremlin-backed anti-LGBTQ disinformation campaign.[34][15]
