This is personal, now. I used to know this girl. I haven't seen her in 5 - 6 years, but back then, she was a NORMAL girl. A little... Odd. Spoke in an American accent (she isn't American), and was certainly a bit... Exuberant. But she wasn't even a fucking lesbian. Then she moved to Melbourne. (www.sbs.com.au)

This is actually quite... Tough to read.

Linah was a cool chick. A genuinely sweet girl. I... Well I can even remember kissing her. There was zero indication that this would ever happen. Zero.

Then she made a big song and dance about moving to Melbourne. From Sydney. She did that, I think for Uni, and we all had a big going away party. Her friends were my friends. There's photos of us all together. My ex... Partner, in this case (more serious than just a girlfriend), was a fairly close friend of hers, too.

Then she moved, and she stopped talking to us. I think I messaged her, and she never replied. Then I found out that she had "befriended" the most famous FTM tranny in Aus (someone called Nevo, if you must know), and her posts became more... Radical, even for me. More "in tune" with "his" ideology. More and more distressing to read. She cut her hair, and changed her screen name (but not to this, yet).

At that point, I had some serious shit going on in my life, and those same "friends" that I mentioned fucking left me out to dry...

In my slow implosion, I stopped thinking about Linah. I stopped looking at her posts. I made a new Facebook account to get away from the shit that had happened, in my life, and those people who had screwed me over. And I didn't speak to her again.

I did think of her, though. And now, all these years later, we have this.

This is the third girl I know who decided they were "trans". Although the other two, I don't really care about as much. Besides, they didn't feel the need to write a fucking article, on the secondary national broadcaster's website, about "their experience".

Fuck this. Fuck the trans lobby. Fuck the fact that I didn't know. Fuck the people I used to call "friends", who let this happen. Fuck "nonbinary". Fuck "woke". This one fucking hurts...

Interesting that you said that this was the third person in your group that went to the cult. Think of any other connections between the three? Might want to track down the recruiter and figure out the way to end to the grooming.

One was the year below me at school. She doesn’t really have anything in common with the other two, except that she was on the… Extreme end of the tomboy scale.

What the other two have in common, though, is that they were always “activists”… “Volunteers”.

The first one was for “social justice” (in its original form - heard of World Vision?), and Lina’s was an environmentalist, so that’s definitely the connection there…

Impressionable young women who wanted to make their mark on the world, and change it. 😑

Other than that, school girl and social justice girl were in one state; Linah was in another. So Nevo could only really have groomed the latter. I hope. 😐

They are all younger than me by between one and three/four years… 🤷🏻‍♂️

On that line, she cut everyone off, yes, but then, once she “came out”, those same fucks came crawling back to “put her on a pedestal”…

She’s a public figure, now, after all!

I don’t know whether she ever “reciprocated”, but trust me, they groveled, including my ex, because, after all, she’s special now… 😑

Re the doxxing risk, true, but thankfully only if someone specifically involved in this saw it. My name is exceptionally common. I don’t even think I come up on Google anywhere, anymore, which is brilliant.

So as long as I don’t get blamed for anyone else’s shit, and they don’t know where I live, I should hopefully be ok, haha.

You can remove your more obvious visibility, but Google's goggles will never be blinded to your existence. You're always under Mircosoft's microscope. If your existence was needed to be found out, or even if it was only "needed" to be found out, it would be.

Behind nine proxies or no, that's reality. Your best bet is to become invisible due to noise, change your name to Zhang Wei, and be lost in the 1 million other people also named Zhang Wei.

They messaged me a couple of months later with a link to her trans profile on Facebook and said "hope you're happy, Impossible." (They used my real name, obviously, but I put my user to not dox myself with the quote.)

I get why they would dump it on you, but why do you take it upon yourself? I assume she is an adult. I know women are children even in the best of times, but she must have had a father, maybe more family, that could have intervened.

I don’t even buy the idea that this is society’s fault or even the people pushing it. Someone could push me the idea of jumping off a bridge but it would never occur to me to take them up on it.

It’s a strange world we live in. I’ve heard ex-gay people explain how they got caught up in that mess. I’d like to see what it is about trans that sounds convincing to these people.

I was the only person they thought would take the transphobia bullshit and tell them all to go to hell, while her friends were cowards afraid of getting cancelled and her co-workers and roommates were enablers and pushers.

Pathetic. They call you over from another country to do what they won’t? I wouldn’t go either.

Rule #1 of being a man: Never, ever, for no reason whatsoever, follow a woman. Not if she is your girlfriend, wife, and especially not a stranger.

You did good.

Her family is from a country people here would consider based. Proof that being on the correct side is not born into them, but a product of being in those countries. They don't know she's done it.

Makes sense. From what I understand, these trans converts tend to dump all their previous connections in order to prevent disagreement with their choice.

It’s a lot easier when your family is in a completely different country and doesn’t even know. What a clown world.

If it gets much worse, I’m going to start my own country…
