Trolls who pretend to be trans are only threatening if you feel threatened by trans people. When you react with hostility, you feed and empower them. When you restrict the rights of trans people under the suspicion a troll might use those rights, the trolls win.

If you practice radical acceptance and only draw the line at causing harm to other people, then trolls can’t do anything bad to you.

Drag isn’t a troll, but drag is bewildered at the logic that we should stop trolls by doing exactly what they want. That’s never going to work. You’re just gonna end up hurting real trans people like drag. And you’re gonna send a message to other queer people that if they step one inch out of line, you’ll be ready to call them a troll too. Who on earth does that actually help?
