This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Lol no thats not why they get offended. If you tell a cis person "they are trans" that means they look like the other gender. Its the same as misgendering a trans person but with a few extra steps. Also maybe they are attacking you because this is harassment...
How the fuck is this harassment?
Counterpoint: It's just not harassment.
"In general, civil harassment is abuse, threats of abuse, stalking, sexual assault, or serious harassment by someone you have not dated and do NOT have a close family relationship with, like a neighbor, a roommate, or a friend (that you have never dated)."
https://www.courts.ca.gov/1258.htm
It's social harassment, whether or not it is civil harassment.
If we are to interpret explainer text meant to inform the public as word of law such as you have:
The actions described in the green text could be interpreted as a credible threat of violence that is seriously annoying/scaring the individual, as they specifically mention how brave it is for trans people to show themselves in public, when the victim has never initiated the discussion or topic and has made clear both that they do not qualify for the classification and are uncomfortable with the label. This, by your logic, would make it civil harassment.
You know what else could be considered a threat of violence? Literally anything by your standard.
Don't look at me, you're the one that wanted to start playing armchair attorney bud. Don't get upset just cause you less practiced at this shitty game.
