Transgender misinformation campaign in the Netherlands

KRO-NRCV Pointer found out that there's an online misinformation campaign by someone who claims they have a transgender child themselves and are against all of it.

Their reasons are just rightwing christian religious dogma, suggesting that "we are created men or women at birth and that can't be changed".

This man decided he was so upset about it that he used artificial intelligence to create thirty-eight (!!) different websites to try and push people away from seeking professional help if they feel like they might be transgender.

Of course he did this under a pseudonym, registering all of these sites under a foundation that doesn't actually exist or is not registered anywhere.

This is the kind of hateful insanity we know from the "Gender Critical" misinformation campaigns going around the UK, US, and elsewhere.

Article is in Dutch and my browser has been prevented from making an archive link due to google's captcha bs.

I would like to know how to fight against something like this given the responsible party has not revealed themselves publicly.

I'm sure there's no way to force this person to reveal themselves and the local laws might not look kindly upon trying to reveal their proper name publicly.

Would there be grounds to report these sites to the site hosts?

Edit: English-language article available on NL Times: Nearly 40 Dutch websites being used to spread disinformation about transgender people.

Tint2 alternatives?

So I've been using tint2 as my taskbar in openbox for years, but with tint2 basically having released its final release (17.0.2) years ago, I'm in the market for a different taskbar.

I've used lxpanel and xfce4's panel in the past, but they have a different setup and I really just need something that does what tint2 does without too much bs around it.

Something which stays out of the way and allows me to click through it for openbox' right-click menu.

Anyone have any suggestions for something simple like tint2 which is actually maintained and which works on a WM instead of relying on a DE?
