So apparently someone is impersonating epicpillowcase and made what I thought was a joke from them but was completely transphobic. Also apparently other fake dupes exist. reported and blocked, but they'll have another account so it's fucking useless . who ever you are don';t think you'll stop me posting about my amazing journey, and I'll start calling out the fucking terfs and incels again now as well. just when we thought were untouched by the hands of fuckwits

Omg that's fucking shit and I'm sorry it's happened to you. These impersonation of account things I've only suspected from what happened to missdarylc account; i saw those posts and wondered what it was about. Now if they're attacking you, that will not stand. I like when you post about what you're doing and thinking, it's very different from my white bread suburban life. My own kids are showing signs of not behaving as is commonly expected of their born gender and I'm happy to just kick back and let them explore it for themselves and support them along the way. I celebrate anyone who has the guts to travel on their own road, and that's you to a T.

Thaks so much for your support! Thats really good of you, not allowing the euphoria to flow from exploring gender expression at a young age has bad outcomes, ask me how i know...

What? On here? Jeez. So we’ve got a proper troll follow us over. It’ll be that dickhead who popped in early days to throw shade.

Mods dealt with it pretty much immediately after I flagged it. Nowhere is completely bullshit free I guess. My resolve to do more to help us all thrive here is just strengthened by this poor attempt at making us feel upset.

Yeah, I saw that comment and thought it was weird but everyone seemed friendly to them in a previous comment so I thought "maybe it's an inside comment?" still didn't feel too happy about it tbh. Glad to know I was right.

I've been chatting with the real epic and they have assured me they'd never make a joke about something like that, so yeah it was a poor attempt at a troll. they need help though, not our hatred, we can't change people by attacking them.

I was wondering what the real epic would think; haven't interacted with them many times but it doesn't seem like their character at all.

[–] RosaliePreistley@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

they're ok, strong and fierce.
