    A great litmus test for transphobia is what pronouns people use for Christine Chandler.

        It’s more like the people that do know her how they refer to her.

          Nope, obscure infamous internet person. Both relentlessly bullied by 4chan, which is terrible, but they’re also a terrible person in their own right, including raping their elderly mom and going to prison for it. Famous for “Sonichu”, a self made fan character that’s sonic and Pikachu mixed together.

          A few years ago they came out as trans, but even that’s been very contentious on whether or not it’s real as faking/lying about that for attention is perfectly in line with their character. I prefer to just use neutral pronouns, some refuse to acknowledge (or just have no fucking clue that the trans thing ever happened, which is why my initial comment was worded in the way that it was).

          The Chris Chan saga is vast, if you’re curious just throw that name into YouTube and there’s hours upon hours of content.

        It doesn’t really matter, it’s just an example of someone who’s done some weird and also some bad things who is trans. Never said you should know her.

        The fuck do you think I’m talking about? You think I’m purity testing people by subjecting them to this? No! I just mean it’s very telling when people refer to her as “he” and when called out about it they insist it’s okay because she’s a shitty person or whatever. As if that suddenly makes transphobia okay.
