god i messaged hotommunist like a couple of months ago about how he shouldn't play up being a trans woman when he isn't and to stop posting transmisogynistic hate anons he gets from people who think is IS a trans woman (also he never even published my asks, only made posts About them so he could twist my words) and then i just gave up and unfollowed. sucks that he's still Like This but at least other people are seeing this now.
Trans men do this shit a lot too -- they bait transmisogynists into sending transmisogynist hatemail under the impression that they’re sending it to a trans woman (or are just sent such mistaken transmisogynist hatemail incidentally without any baiting), and then gloat about it like it’s a Funney Diversion, and not, like, a concentrated expression of people’s violent hatred for trans women. It’s like....tourism, but for transmisogyny. And when trans men do it, they often revel in being told “YOU ARE A MALE” like it’s so cool that their gender is being affirmed by someone who thinks they’re harassing a trans woman.
