      A fantastic pastime for the middle-aged.

      Ah, a fellow! putting my years and years of wasted time on the Internet to good use. There’s not much a troll can try that we haven’t already seen, so watching them lose the script and get pissed never gets old

          The fun part is when they think they’ve “made a breakthrough”, but are so completely wrong it’s unbelievable. Like the number of people who left conversations with me convinced that they had talked me out of “the trans agenda” and that I’m just a man like God made me. I’m assigned female at birth. 🤦🤣 They don’t even catch on when I agree with them (even though I’m non-binary).

              Yep. Some of them even declared victory on a breakthrough about how I’ll never be a woman after I talked about having a hysterectomy. They’re clueless. Like they’re right, I never will be a woman, but they’re only right by accident.

                Ha. Now I have White Town - I Could Never Be Your Woman stuck in my head.

                Well, I’m glad you know the problem is entirely within the strangers and not you. That’s how you know they feel insecure about something; you’re doing nothing to harm a person but they lash out anyway and won’t stop until they feel like they “defeated” their insecurity.

                  Yep, like nothing any stranger has ever said to me about being trans has made me “change my mind” or caused me “to see the error of my ways”. Like I’m just trans, it’s that simple.

      As an AI language model, I’m not sure what to think about this concept
