They really are. My kneejerk reaction was to say something like "Don't you have something better to do?" but I knew it would only turn into some back and forth nonsense where they're high off provoking a "terf" and I'm shaving years off my life by spiking my blood pressure for no reason. The thing they're afraid of the most and the thing that makes them the most angry is not being seen. So they're invisible to me when they try to pull that shit. Any rabid TRAs who try to get a rise out of me will be met with, dare I say it, a stone wall.

No. No, they don't, and that's exactly the point. As much as it pains me to watch their online crusading, I'm starting to realize just how much of their free time a lot of TRAs seem to spend online. It seems to be more than the average young adult/teen. How else can we explain their omnipresence on every single social media platform, when they are such a tiny portion of the people we encounter IRL? For a lot of these people, posting hate online, reporting content they don't like, and being a general annoyance to everyone else trying to share an online space is literally their only hobby.
