YUP, love the good old DL. Have followed the ongoing "The Gays and Tennis" thread for years now haha

For decades now, a lot of Datalounge posters have been vehement about how transgenders are not part of gay rights - and some were around for AIDs and the early gay rights movement.

There are always the same 1-2 TRAs/white-knight gay handmaidmen (likely 1 with multiple sock accounts) screaming in opposition to that general Drop-The-T consensus on there, just like on Reddit, et al.

I swear, given how I've seen how these types of collectivist assholes operate, that they're literally coming up with gameplans/scheduled assignments of forums to police ("for the greaTer good"). Certainly helps that the most pious of the TRA contingent is also the most unemployable, lending plenty of free time to such activities.

There are a few trans fans on Datalounge. One is an older gay man named Charlie, who used to be a gay activist and who buys that trans demands are an extension of civil rights for gays (obviously Charlie hasn't thought too hard on this).

Another is a guy named Frank, who I think lives in the Midwest. He's annoying, but not vehement.

There's another who goes by "Ooze" who is probably 19 and attending Oberlin. He is truly annoying and pops up on many political threads spouting The Handbook of Social Justice talking points.

The last is probably the one you're referring too - the one who makes up about half the posts on every trans thread, screaming that Datalounge is a gay male space (although he loves the trans, so go figure), that rad fems are gay male haters, that trans demands are the same demands made by gay males during their own struggles so gays need to support trans.

I'm pretty sure he's the same guy who polices the political thread and will not allow anything that isn't far, far Left to be posted without calling the other poster "Boris" or a "concern troll." He uses the quote function a lot and used to also use "dear" and "cupcake" and "LOL" a lot in his posts, but since people got wise he's switched tactics.

He does work. Or did. He has some kind of horrible, possibly lower-level office job.

I think now he's pretending to be the "British rad fem who hates gay men" who has suddenly popped up on trans threads making (valid) gender critical talking points but spewing hatred against gay men. It would be just like the trans troll to pretend to be a gay-hating rad fem in order to turn Datalounge against gender critical thought.

I don't know what his damage is, but I'm guessing maybe he either is attracted to transgenders, or perhaps wants to be one but it's buried deep.

Anyway, I hope that you post some of the absolute bullshit the gender lobby is getting up to on Datalounge, because it is widely read and so we would be able to reach many more people than here.
