So it appears that techbro blocklist dude has a history of posts which are “plausibly deniably” close to being outright blatant trabsphobia. Not in your face, just very very dog whistly.
What a totally unexpected development. #MilkShakeDuck

in reply to Sarah Brown • •So here’s how this will develop, because this is what always happens. Now trans women have done the legwork to uncover this Ro guy being basically dodgy on any form of discrimination against a group he isn’t personally part of, it will basically make no difference.
He will continue to be feted by gay men, straight men, lots of cis women, and so on. His blocklist will be widely used.
Eventually those from other minorities will discover its targeting them too.
Their reaction will be, “this is a complete surprise which nobody could have predicted. There was no way to avoid this”.
This is because trans women, frequently the canaries in the coal mine for wider attacks on LGB people and women, are basically Cassandra: we see it coming, we warn people, they ignore us, they get hit by it.
Here’s your warning. You will almost certainly ignore it.

in reply to Sarah Brown • •Remember Gamergate? How many of you know the exact same shit was beta tested on trans women a whole year earlier? I know because I was one of them. It caused a 6 month long nervous breakdown.
And when it started targeting cis women, everyone was like: 😮
