I know contrapoints sucks but this reminds me of a video describing the way she would do this exact same thing. I think the video was about the black pill.

I don't know if hearing someone else's experience with doing that and coming out the other end would help, but might be worth seeking out.

Yeah, the phrasing "digital self harm" literally comes from her incel video. Another is "masochistic epistemology" for the logical fallacy where you believe that more hurtful things are more truthful. That all her takes on trans issues are also toxic and self destructive in subtle and insidious ways that will fly over the head of cis people is also due to brainworms from that kind of behavior, she's a textbook case of what transmedicalism does to a mfer even if she outwardly disavows it very vocally. I've never been on /tttt/, but i watched a lot of Contra before i came out and it made the first two years of my transition harder than they needed to be. It's also worth noting that 20 Contra videos on trans stuff didn't crack me, but seeing a happy trans woman once did the trick immediately.

I'm not saying this to dunk on her, i think she's a sad and very lost woman and deserves pity instead of snark, but i'm also aware she will not be treated that way because the behavior discussed here has conditioned her to the point where it's impossible for her to communicate publicly without some amount of trolling and when a trans woman does that kind of thing people will just tear into her in ways that they do not do with other people because we are simply seen as disposable and as a kind of "woman you're allowed to hit".

But i think it's still worth discussing here because this is such a textbook case of how people who've spent too much time on 4chan set themselves up for constant hurt.
