I can out as a "trans girl" two years ago, and now it is time for me to come out of the closet. My name is pearls. I try to look pretty.

Pearl is not "a dude", she is stunning and brave for coming out as trans. Please show some respect for this girl who wants to look pretty.

Asking about her genitals is bigoted, and maybe even predatory since girls are young and maybe even under legal age. You need to unpack your belief that women can't have penises, and not suggest such trans-mysogynistic biases.

I doubt you ever met "Pearl", unless Pearl is an alternate account of your own, so you can't say what Pearl is with regard to anything other than: Pearl is the name of an account on SaidIt which is the account that is the "OP" of this topic. Also, "a dude" and "stunning and brave for coming out as trans" are not mutually exclusive.

As for your second paragraph: how do you define "women"? It is likely that you are using a definition that most people find useless. That makes communication difficult when it is not just out-right intentional deception. Women are adult human females, the where male and female are the two and only two sexes in sexual reproduction. Sexes refer to pair of roles played in sexual reproduction. Species that can reproduce sexually do so via two and only two functions in that reproduction. Males who can impregnate women can not be women. A "trans woman" then is a "man". You're welcome!

"Pearl" is obviously a fake account - either an astroturfing bot, or a real person trolling to make trans people look bad.

I was shitposting in response to "Pearl"s bait. Do I need to step up my sarcasm? Was I too subtle? Did I use too many TRA phrases that I seemed like an NPC? I thought I walked just a fine enough line to demonstrate the ridiculousness, while also encouraging the bot/troll.

Pssstt ... feel free to peep on my profile before raining your judgement all over me. I'm on your side, silly.

i apologize for not getting the sarcasm. I would not want you to mark sarcasm as that sort of weakens its punch. Though on occasions I've marked it to be safe. There will always be those who miss it, me here obviously, but that's just how it goes. I think it's not that you were too subtle, it's that the love-bombing in that cult is always over the top.

I disagree.

If it's witty it will not matter if it's "spoiled" by marking it.

I can appreciate it more with the clarity rather react and waste time refuting it.

if there some sort of time release "/s" marking then I might agree, but I think it gets close to the explaining the joke idea. A joke that needs explaining failed. Typing jokes is not easy especially since we learn the language of that through speaking and tone of voice and gestures.

time release "/s" marking

That's a neat idea. But it doesn't solve Poe's Law so it gets closer to being a virtual prank than joke.

the potential for a prank seems like a feature not a bug
