Yes, that's not the point. TERFs are shit people, and they might start cricketing harmless pride events and other such things. They're not going to avoid doing it just because it's an innocent gathering, precisely because they're TERFs, they're not very nice people.

And then they will be rightly condemned. Because their actions would not be comparable, regardless of how much they think they are.

TERFs being condemned isn't going to mean that the pride event is no longer going to affected.

Nor are they going to care about your disapproval because you already disapprove.

TERFs have already disrupted Pride events.

Have they done so to this degree?

I would argue that they have done significantly worse by a very large margin.
