if you aren’t out as a trans man, do not submit any pictures to the blog fuckyeahftms

theres a blog (dirtywhiteboi67.blogspot.com) that frequently links to and reposts pictures of trans men from fuckyeahftms, effectively outing them, in the name of showing how “testosterone is poison to the female body,” and “transgenderism was made to fix homosexuality and is a lesbian epidemic”

this blog also gets photos of trans men from other sites like instagram, some who explicitly mention they’re living stealth

the blog mostly features young trans men, including many who are minors, and typically writes a few paragraphs misgendering them and condemning “transgenderism”

if you’re a trans man, i would be extremely cautious posting any pictures of yourself online right now if you’re concerned about being outed

Whatever you do, don’t go after Dirt. Don’t visit her website, youtube channel, tumblr, or any other social media account. Her website automatically tracks every visitor, she is relentless and it isn’t hyperbolic to assert that there’s no end to the vitriol.

Dirt has been harassing trans people since at least the early 2000s, probably IRL before social media became a thing as well. Dirt,  based in the US, has close friends in England and Australia who have equally nothing better to do than join her in keeping a 24/7 “watch” on trans people sharing pictures and other identifiable information for them to “expose” forever more. If you can get to a free part of the web, it doesn’t matter if you had to fill out a form, log in, or how otherwise of a “closed” space it is, Dirt could be there. Dirt doesn’t just have dirtywhiteboi67 as a username, but also several sock puppet accounts.

She is one of several reasons that I’m careful about how much identifiable information I put out online. Her raison d’être is disclosing trans men with the explicit hope of causing us harm. Unless you’re a US based lawyer with endless supply of funds and support, do not engage. It took over 20 of us forum mods from around the world wasting more time and energy than I can justify just to keep her out from our closed communities on another blogging platform. And some of them who got too close to the fire received letters threatening legal actions. Dirt is to trans men, as Bug is to trans women. 

Do not engage under any circumstance.

Boosting this, because Bug and Dirt are disgusting wastes of human tissue, and a good reminder to me of why I do not post selfies on my blog – I’m not a minor (I’m 35), but I’m very stealth, and losing that could mean I lose absolutely everything that keeps me alive.

Be careful, folks. Don’t let these disgusting, stupid, bitter people use you to fuel their machine.

Yep. If you are stealth, STAY STEALTH. Don’t post pics of yourself- or even specify your name- on sites where you specify you’re trans.

In addition to these people who have no life and are so insecure as to believe that trans people somehow invalidate their homosexuality because they are unavailable to bone to the Discerning Gold Star Lesbian for some reason, it could also cost you a job if the employer finds out about your history, especially in a more conservative area. Sad, but true- it happened to me last year.
