You said it. It's so easy to be brave and tough online. I mean, I'm about as meathead CIS white hetero as they get and even my dumbass recognizes you probably don't want to fuck with, in real life or online, someone who is outwardly mobilized (be it a DSA member or just some random transgendered person) and self-aware. They probably have seen and dealt with some shit - the likes a pussyfooted lib could only dream of in their worst suburban nightmares.

But aside from all that, try being the good person you pretend you are to yourself instead of shitting on people in general.
