Just had some random pop up on Reddit, necroposting to reply to something I posted in 2022 saying, “you will never be a woman”

And, ok, whatever, but I replied asking if they’re able to explain what it is that doing this is doing for them.

And I hope they reply because I’m actually fascinated.

I get that they’re trying to offend me, but on the one hand, poor target selection because I’m years past that, and on the other, why not something contemporary? I mean, if they’re picking year old posts to reply to, their target might never even see it.

I guess I just don’t understand why they spent their time doing this in this way.

It's the inner goblin tendency. You attack something small with the idea that the damage is so inconsequential that a retaliation would be too much work. But there will have been damage and they'll skulk away smirking and rubbing their hands at a job well done.
