It's recently come to my attention again that Rose aka rose161 has begun posting about me and the interactions that we had last month.
While I am not an influencer nor as active on social media I do find misinformation to be irresponsible for those with platforms so I'm making this to clear up all of that and set the record straight.
I first encountered Rose last month, early December, on a post by sodotgay on Instagram. I will link it here but it was about eating disorders in the trans community and specifically how about 40 different studies have shown that transmen are at the highest percentage to have an ED.
The article was well done, the study linked was very detailed and informative. However when I opened the comments I noticed one in particular by Rose, that immediately claimed that this data was incorrect, and that bc she personally knew trans women that had EDs that this article was biased against trans women in favor of mascs.
At this time I had no knowledge of her, nor the type of "transfeminism" she promotes. So I responded, as you can see here.
Her response? "Ew why is a he they talking to me"
Also to note she got me and an actual two spirit transman (the one who filed the cyber stalking and harassment case) confused, that's how little she cares to fact check. I never said she was grooming her bf, didn't say botted only that before she posted it on her story the only likes on her comment were her bf/users with too many letters in their names and a joker pfp. The "ableism" was that I and others said everything she said made no sense and was crazy ramblings. Ableist is a stretch here.
In her recent stories about me she claims she only goes after those who go after her first or those she deems dangerous.
Does any of this feel like that? Like someone who has the intention to build community? It's also worth mentioning that if you analyze her stories she will Say things happen but will not post anything that shows that happening. And what she does post is cropped in her favor.
Unfortunately, as things online tend to do, it continued to spiral. It began to involve others who shared my same sentiment. That the behavior she is displaying is alarming and oddly bigoted towards mascs. Her only response was to insist she wasn't going to read the article, that it was transmisgonist and so were we.
Even after hours of me finding other studies and articles, just to verify this wasn't something only one study was saying. She still refused to read any of them and continued to say they were incorrect.
Eventually she took to posting things on her story. Specifically asking to be "defended" from "white men who lie". Noticably everything she posted of me was only the notification of the comment, none of her responses nor what I was replying to. Completely stripped of context to paint me, a transmasc non-binary person, as an evil man. Even though I had repeatedly told her I was Masc not a man, and that I was non-binary and my goal was not to be masculine in a cis sense.
She also began to go after anyone else that replied and told her she was wrong. No matter how kindly they said it, whether they were even men (some were trans women as well) or not.
She also had her (at the time) transman bf jump in to defend her within the first 10 minutes of my initial comment.
What should have been a conversation about transness and the struggles with anorexia and dysphoria became what felt like a 4tran doom spiral.
At one point she made this comment
At first I shrugged it off as a digging comment, as ridiculous as it was to read. But when I returned the comment in kind, she doubled down and began to discuss her sex life in a way that did begin to make me uncomfortable. When I asked her to either return to the topic at hand or stop with the odd sexual comments she accused me of being an "intellectual rapist" that "hates when trans women are sexually empowered".
And as things continued to get more ridiculous, the next day I was sent a few screenshots of some art her partner had made of me and her. She has denied that this was made about me but it was made the day of/after our interaction, the "always a he/they" was what she was saying to me, and the "furry me" is outlined in green, like my hair she made sure to make strange attempts to bully me over. (My pfp at the time on Insta has my hair visible, I have since gone private over this due to harassment and changed my pfp and user)
At this point I realized no reasoning can be had with these individuals and blocked her and her partner. She celebrated that it was "over" although she continued to post about it and attack others that joined the thread later for almost 2 weeks.
After blocking, another individual in the thread (dxtrose on Instagram) also became a target for Rose and her partner. For the same two weeks they harassed me, sending their fans to leave inappropriate comments on any post of mine(evidence of which is in the doc linked below), they also went after Dex. A two spirit transman who they continued to call "just some white guy". It seems she made no effort to distinguish between us. Even after blocking she made multiple posts, on her acc and her partners. All of which are still up I believe. She left no context no actual evidence but just slander against us.
They threatened his livelihood, his acc and just him. He received dozens of threatening messages, harassing him for insisting if she didn't stop he'd begin a cyber harassment report. (Again we both had her blocked and were trying to move on)
Unfortunately it continued to spiral and once it passed the legal threshold for harassment, he went and made a report (is linked in the doc) . She then began to make claims about fearing for her safety while also insisting the report isn't real. She weaponized transmisgony to attempt to silence us, even though it was her that began the attack.
One other person that she went after was a masc lesbian who in the thread mentioned (in response to her saying he must hate tgirls) that he and his local community of transwomen help each other. She took offense to this, and decided she must stop it.
She took it upon herself to dm every fem he is mutuals with with accusations and to have them ostracize him from the community. Luckily no one believed her and rallied behind him. That still didn't stop her from posting about it on tik Tok without posting any of the conversation (still up on a public comment section btw) to say it was a "win for transwomen". When asked if she could provide evidence of the harm he caused she declined to do so for "safety".
A very odd thing to be concerned about as you doxx someone.
There are a lot of other allegations against Rose and Tara and their group, and there are other things I could discuss but those are more opinions and gut feelings, nothing I can prove outside of just personal experience with abusive people and relationships. So this is focused on what can be proven and has evidence for.
I had much more evidence than I can make posts for so I'm also linking a doc that has all the other screenshots I have taken of Rose. I'll be passing what I have on Tara to those more well equipped and more involved than me. I had less interaction with Tara than Rose and the victims need to have their voices lifted more.
The last thing I will say, addressed directly to Rose, if you truly think you did as you say you did you should have no problem linking the still public 600+ comment thread most of this came from. You claim to want to protect people but you only ever mention fems and this is how you treat the mascs you meet? If you truly want to build community, start with a real apology. Admit the harm you've caused, to us and to the mascs you harass, and The abusers you protect. Address the environment of hatred you have helped create. And then put the phone down and go outside. And for the record, no I am not stalking you. I have had you blocked for about a month and the information I gathered after were all sent to me by people who are just as concerned as I am. My screen time is also about 2 hours a day, and I assure you almost none of it is spent on you.
Thank y'all for the time it took to read this, please share and spread as you can.
