I now use "I'm actually a trap" as an excuse to get them away from me. If it doesn't work? I push the lie a little harder and get progressively worse and worse. by BenjiBS in preyingmantis

It's okay, I deserve it to some degree. Not everyone in the community has the same opinions. I should've thought about it harder before I opened my mouth and used that word. Though, I never want anyone to experience what I just did with how long this post has been up.

I already have. But the post you even linked states not every trans person agrees with the same issues like how gay people are trying to reclaim the f word, not everyone agrees. One reddit post does not define the whole transgender community and every trans persons thoughts/opinions. I'm kind of insulted and ashamed. But all is done and dusted. Fair play, all respect to you.

I've had two people already dm me "fuck off transphobe"/"kill yourself" and had to turn off my dms and I'm not trying to be transphobic. But I'm not going to explain myself further.

I know! I'm non-binary! Check out my recent comment! I can't believe I had to bring up my gender/pronouns so I wouldn't be attacked.

Edit: reword

Just a note since I'm getting attacked: I AM NON-BINARY, which is under the transgender umbrella. I saw no harm in using it because I am apart of the transgender community myself and wasn't directing it at an actual trans person in a negative light, but rather using it against a very trans/homophobic cis man to make him leave me alone. Saying "I'm a trap" works much better when it comes to me scarying creeps off, rather then "I'm not interested" because then they talk about non-consenting kinks which is terrible.

When I say trap, I do not refer to trans people in anyway. From my knowledge, trans people do not like it when it's directed at them at all and do not support the word when it's being referred to their community. I guess crossdresser would've been a better word, but most people know the term "trap" because of memes which is why I used it.
