Ugh, sounds like he wasn't just fishing for compliments, he was also fishing for someone he could come into conflict with. I bet everyone around him was supportive and he can't properly feel like a victim if there's no "terf" to fight against.

I totally get your anger, OP, and commend you for your patience (personally would've probably started to ignore him as soon as the selfies started, but I bet he would've had a roblem with that as well), you tried to give actual good advice that you'd give to an inexperienced girlfriend. But of course the rampant narcissism (weird how they always think being feminine means being a self-involved drama queen) left no space for pragmatic advice, and accusing you of mansplaining is the height of hypocrisy.

Do you think he'll try to tell everyone you know how "transphobic" you are? He might blatantly change stuff around like "she told me I can't wear yoga pants because I'm not a real woman, boohoo".

Yep. This is why the TiMs are now attacking gaybros on reddit.

Thanks for your kind reply. I have 2 young girls so I like to think I am very patient! But this was just a step too far. And I do think this dude wants to be a victim. I have a good feeling he will try to tell anyone that I am a huge, raging TERF. But honestly, I don't really care. He consumes so much trans-focused media, and I think he only goes on the soft boi support groups, so it doesn't matter what they think.
