    God… imagine having so much free time on your hands that you’d go out of your way to impersonate someone online in a casual space like the DT. Holy fuck that’s low.

      I suspect it’s paid time. I reckon there’s active online campaigns looking to sow dissent among friendly communities.

        Somehow I feel that’s even worse. Like, if it’s someone local then seriously, what the hell. If it’s Reddit related then how bloody scared are they? And if it’s Russians or someone then… like, surely the Melb DT is so small that it wouldn’t be worth it. Crazy. Utterly crazy.

          Could be a terf, they hate it when trans women have better outcomes than they. Glad we can all agree this is no place for any of it. Transphobia is one thing, but impersonating someone to insult thier friend by being transphobic is quite low. Terfs do run active campaigns to target trans people on social media. But more likely it’s a troll from the DT who knows we often had discourse over there and don’t like either of us.

          I thought it was them and took it as a joke, but they assured me they’d never make a bigot joke sarcastically in the first place. Which is nice!

          All in all, it made epic and I closer mates discussing it so there was a positive outcome from it.

        Using their brains for evil. The world definitely needs less of them.
