Just FYI, this has been posted before and there are actually five such repositories that I'm aware of.

I'll update with a link.

edit: Previous post, with five such repositories: https://www.saidit.net/s/LGBDropTheT/comments/5x6k/trans_people_and_trans_rights_activists_being/

The 1st link below is the same one in this post.

The following are repositories of documented harassment incidents performed by trans rights activists and directed at LGB individuals.

No problem! Very relevant post. This stuff is so crazy.

Every post either uses the word "anger" or "hate" or has a hostile tone. None (that I read; I did HAVE to stop) even shows self-pity like "Aren't I as good as any gay man?" All of them have a junior high vibe as well.

Imagine if part of "transitioning" required them to never use social media again. What these young women have done to themselves is tragic.

Seriously. If a Trans person falls in a forest, and no one is out there to validate them, does the trans person even exist?

I imagine these people just sitting in front of their computers/cellphones updating their twitter homepage constantly, trying to milk their brains into making more of those happy-making hormones that comes from upvotes and retweets (I'm not sure about twitter terminology.)

How do these people function outside social media? I mean a vast majority of them do happen to be kids or people who live with their parents in their 30s, but i wonder if they behave like this in public?

Had to stop scrolling after I got to the “pick a hole” tweet.
