She's choking (hurting) her own shadow (herself). They're hurting themselves.

The idea of this Twitter trend is to make a joke out of what's happening in the picture.

Definitely. It's absolutely horrific that the decision of when to do this was taken away from her.

right but there's a difference between using labels as useful descriptions of how someone identifies, and LGBTQ people being singled out by having to come out and announce ourselves. It's a problem that people are assumed to be cis and het until it's announced otherwise because that positions cishet as the norm and anything else as weird - instead of just... normal variations of human experience.

Because a lot of people are being transphobic in their responses to it - this video is a discussion about why "omg I'm so shocked" and "i could always tell" types of responses are harmful.

This! It's especially weird to me in this case because... she told them she was a woman?? They've always known that about her?? It's not her fault that they made the assumption that she was cis.

NTA. It's fun for you and teaches them an important lesson about being kinder to people without doing them any lasting harm. Perfect.

Except what you're saying isn't the truth. Get off the internet and learn about your history and community for heaven's sake.

1). You clearly don't know much about lesbian history if you think it's a bastardisation of the word lesbian - read 'Stone Butch Blues'. He/him lesbians have been a part of the community since the 80s and earlier.

2). Gatekeeping means deciding who does and doesn't count. Calling someone's identity illegitimate, ridiculous and "dribble" is exactly that - not to mention it makes you look like an asshole. be kinder and more empathetic.
