Bill Oetjen is Armed and Does Not Like Trans Women

William James Oetjen

It’s not only the right that wants to threaten people who don’t threaten them. It’s folks who are left-leaning but keep making effed up exceptions like going after the Transgender community. Like this guy.

While the world protests alongside Black Lives Matter, Burlington, Vermont’s Pistol packin’ TERF King, Bill Oetjen might be carrying a bullet for you.

That alone gives the important information, but a sentence does not an article make. The takeaway of this article is that you should stay away from this individual and keep him out of your spaces.

Bill Oetjen claims to have been kicked out of antifa for refusing the basic consideration of calling trans people by their chosen pronouns.

This June, he claimed he was “doxxed out of his job as a teach­er”. Rather than taking time to reflect on his behavior, he has doubled down on his anti-trans activism. The author contacted known antifa in Burlington and was unable to confirm that any antifa actually worked with him at this point. Reportedly, some community activists still consider him “useful” for some reason.

Since this happened he has seemingly been seeking his own “Andy Ngo” moment by posting bigger and bigger signs on his car supporting Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, apparently to provoke an unwitting activist to confront him in a way that would justify him using his gun on them.

In the past, Bill was an activist who was involved in many local struggles in Burlington. He was involved with Occupy and with being a relentless critic of the police. He considered himself “antifa” but as of late he has been supporting the Womens Liberation Front (WoLF), which is an anti-trans womens group that collaborates with the SPLC-designated hate group, Al­liance Defending Freedom (ADF). His Facebook and Twitter feeds often feature content from fascist adjacent publications Quillette and The Post Millenial.

And instead of showing even the slightest hint of empathy to­wards the Black Trans Lives Matter movement, he has reposted tweets from other anti-trans bigots that try to smear English trans model and activist Munroe Bergdorf with the suggestion of being a pedophile.

If you live in or are visiting Burlington, Vermont avoid this indi­vidual! Do NOT try to work with him and do not confront him if you can help it. He lives at the following address:

William James Oetjen 762 North Ave Burlington, VT 05408

If you are trans – especially a trans woman – avoid this loca­tion if you can. He is armed and does not hesitate to tell people about this fact. He has dogs and walks them in the areas around his home.

To sum this up, we go back to the point made in the beginning of this article: Stay away from this individual and keep him out of your organizations. Be aware.
