NAYRT but again, this is the same thing that people said about LGB people a decade ago

With the slight difference that back then, claiming the LGBT label for yourself meant you had to commit to it in real life. Currently, you can claim all you want online with none of your real life identity attached if you don't want it to be. And people lie on the internet. That's a fact.

The Internet existed 10 years ago, my friend

Sure but the fandom atmosphere was incredibly different and personal identity was barely relevant.

(Anonymous) 2017-10-22 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
But you said that 10 years ago "claiming the LGBT label for yourself meant you had to commit to it in real life." That's just not true.

The ayrt wasn't me. I read over the "ten years" part because I quite honestly don't remember there being a lot of discussion about this back then. My fault.

Should have clarified I wasn't the original anon. Basically my point is saying you're trans in fandom did not have the same social ramifications a decade ago as it does now and there's definitely people doing it so they don't have to deal with antis.

The main "omg everyone's bi for attention now" hype was in the 80s. A decade ago, i dont actually remember there being that much of an uproar about a sudden surge in LGBT identified individuals.
