A cursory glance through post history paints a picture of a very young (regularly posts to /r/teenagers) person with very little else to do. A one-year old account with 286,000+ post karma, incredibly regular posts to /r/tumblr and almost all of said posts being about trans bollocks would suggest someone who spends a great deal of their time on Reddit, and we all know what that means.

Furthermore, I don't know what LGB people are treated like in Adelaide (where poster appears to be from) but I have my doubts that someone would shout 'faggot' out of a car window at a random pair of 'men' who were ostensibly just walking down the street (outside being a place we know OP doesn't go).

Finally, as /u/motss-pb rightly points out, even if this did happen (which I doubt), the OP has nothing other than a completely inappropriate reaction to it. I'm not saying she should break down in tears and curl into a little ball, but there's no reflection on 'wow, must it be awful if this happened to actual gay men? How terrible for them' instead it's 'lol im a real boy now!'.

Fuck this cretin.

im in one of the most liberal cosmopolitan cities on the planet. it does happen. theyre usually immigrants or the lowest of the low on the socioeconomic scale. Not everyone in liberal cities is liberal.

True but as another Australian I find it unlikely some Adelaidian bogans would shout ‘faggot’ rather than ‘poofter’ or some other more Aussie slur.

Can confirm that I've had lesbian and dyke shouted at me, but I've never once heard someone use f-ggot or f-ggy here. Adelaide is relatively LGB friendly to the point where there was a public park right next to our main shopping precinct where lesbians (now it's mostly queer people and other alphabet soup people) gathered to make out and hang out, and that was years and years before we got gay marriage legalised. I only once (in more than a decade) got harassed by a couple of men for walking with a clearly lesbian woman, but other than that, you see quite a few LGBTQ people all over Adelaide and there's an increasing amount of openly trans people. The only place where I could see someone shouting the f slur would be on Hindley Street, pretty much our tiny red light/drugs/nightclub district, and even then, it's pretty tame during the day.

I'm sure for a fact that she's making this shit up for upvotes.

I grew up in country SA surrounded by some bogans and ferals but never heard them use f** so I can’t imagine it being thrown around in Adelaide.

Poof/ poofter on the other hand was said all the time. So, if the story went like some yelled poofters from a car window at us, it would be more believable.

But regardless of the word it’s wrong to use it as a form of validation.

Hell yeah, another (close to) Radelaidean!

I've definitely heard poofter/poof being used, although it's mostly older people than people my age.

Completely agree here. If you're proud of being called slurs (or you're using them yourself against gay men, which is ridiculously common among 'gay' transmen), then you're a fucking idiot and should find a better goddamn hobby.
