TW: Transphobia, misgendering.
Can people please help me with this? A trans comrade in need recently posted a video of her losing it on an employee who repeatedly misgendered her prior to the video then continued to do so during the video. I have permission from her to post here. Somehow, terfs and I’ve seen nazis as well are swarming her on the YouTube comments with some of the most vile and hateful shit I’ve ever seen. She is in a vulnerable place now. I’m hoping some of us can send some support. It kind of looks like this got to 4chan/8chan but I’m not sure, but if you all could maybe like her video or at least send some support on the bird app, we can help her feel better hopefully. She’s @CommieDickGurl on Twitter and I’m going to link the video so you can see the comments section. https://youtu.be/EOUBhQlhG2w
If I need to post this somewhere else, please let me know. I’m really concerned for her mental health right now and it’s now getting media attention so I think that is just going to pile onto the hate she’s already receiving.

There is no saving that damn comment section just fucking tell her to nuke it, she really seems to be self harming at this point for not doing so

Give her this link god damn
She's not reading the Youtube comments herself anymore, thank god, but I am passing this along. It's a good suggestion. I also suggested she go private on Twitter for a bit too.
Thanks. There's just not much else that can be done to boot the harassers other than going private/disabling comments, she doesn't seem to be a public figure anyway.
Just wanted to update you, I passed this along to her. She wanted to post this initially to expose transphobia she faces, which is completely admirable. I'm trying to just let her know her mental health is priority above that and it's an option that is available. When I get off work at 6:30 I can post to more places if the comments are still enabled on it. At the very least, I hope people can reach out to her on Twitter at the very least to just offer words of encouragement.
There isn't much positive visibility that can happen by leaving that comments section up.
Yeah that’s what I figured. Thought I would try something though. Thank you for leaving her a supportive message. Maybe the TikTok route will help, idk. I already explained it might just add to the hate and she’s just looking for any support possible right now so she’s okay with that. But I’ll probably delete it if it seems to be doing that. It just seems like this is really being picked up fast by chuds and terfs.
Okay, do you know which ones? I have not been active on Reddit very much since the original sub ban
Thank you so much! And thank you for the reminder about content warnings, I apologize for not adding that to the title.
I understand that, however prior to the video the guy was threatening to fight her and did repeatedly misgender her. He did start trying to apologize once recorded but then kept doing it. I can’t speculate to someone else’s mental health, and I’m not trans so I’ll never understand how it feels to be in that situation. I agree in my shoes it should come down, just to stop the hate from pouring in, but I’m just trying to do what I can to help the best I can right now with what I can control or do.
Noted. I will work on just talking to her and seeing if I can convince her to bring it down or at least disable comments.
Youtube is the worst, adding in 4/8 chan makes it even worse. I hope she knows that she's not alone and people support her.
Thank you. I think it is. I looked at reddit and I can't find anything that blew up there except maybe on the drama subreddit. So I'm thinking it went there because this is a LOT of people coming after her. And when she first uploaded the video, for the first few hours it was just not getting views or anything. And Twitter has been bad but not to that extent.
4/8chan absolutely despise trans people, it's such a visceral hatred. They come over here from time to time and try to spew their shit and you can see their brainworms on full display. Just wish there was more that I could do.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped out. I think I’ve done what I can here to help and not further harm, even if it’s just a miniscule drop in a bucket. I appreciate all of the input.
