If you pay close attention to the thread, you've likely noticed that lesbians are strongly represented in it
That's because a common bad faith move by GC transphobes is to try and wave away attacks on gay men's rights as not being because they are gay but because they are MALE
Despite my conscious effort to over-represent examples with lesbians in the thread, I STILL get responses like this
from GCers who don't bother to read the thread when examples from it are linked

Ok. Because the discovery that Twitter prefers white faces to Black faces in it's preview clipping has scratched my curiosity this is going to be a thread of images for Twitter to clip to see if we can derive how it thinks
I was 11 or 12. Living in a conservative, religious, semi-rural Utah town (population 27K - having grown from 5K only 10 years earlier - there were 80 acres of farm in front of my house)
I literally did not know of even ONE out LGBTQ+ person in my town \1
Lacking ANY role models, information, or words to describe my feelings
But I knew that changing in the locker room for PE made me intensely uncomfortable. To the point where, without explanation, the school allowed me to change in the visiting team locker room for privacy \2
This was DECADES before the internet became more than an 'interesting experiment' for a few selected universities
So, without role models or information, I taught myself how to 'tuck' for a more femme appearance
And then stopped because I was terrified I would be discovered \3
I really do blame Twitter for making it so much harder to mass block accounts
It took me almost a full day to block the medium sized (12K+) account who's followers were trying to dogpile my mentions \1
Twitter broke 'Block Chain' several months ago by force-logging-out your session if you quickly blocked slightly more than 500 accounts. I found an alternative called 'Chain Block' (only available for Chrome) that tries to slide under the 500 block limit per run \2
But if you need to block MORE than 500 accounts total, you have to run it multiple times - which triggers Twitter's force-logout. I had to run it around 50 times to block the pile on
This raises memories of my father cutting off my allowance (a massive $3/week - 40 years ago so inflation adjusted it would be about $9) when I was around 14 or 15 to try and force me to go to church
He was furious when I shrugged my shoulders and still refused to go to church
Later he offered to pay for college - but ONLY if I went to a private religious college (BYU)
I declined his offer
Over the years he kept passing my address to his church as I moved around the country so they kept showing up at my doorstep. Even once when I was just home visiting for a week or so.
I had to cut him off from all contact for over 2 years before he would even admit doing it
Last night there was an event which appears to have started with an altercation between a trans woman and some other people in Portland
There is some very disturbing video circulating from it
BE AWARE THAT VIDEO HAS BEEN HEAVILY EDITED
\1
The longest version circulating is exactly 2 minutes and 21 seconds long. The precise max length for a video uploaded to Twitter. It has TWELVE video cuts where content was sliced out.
If you watch closely you will discover half the component clips are under 6 seconds long \2
The video is *sourced* from extreme rightwing accounts who edited it from a livestream they captured
They sliced and diced it to make it tell a 'BLM mob attacks and robs trans woman without provocation' story \3
