fireandlifeincarnate:adulthoodisokay:great-tweets:twitter is incredibleoh man:she didn’t lose her internship because “her friends” used a hashtag, she lost it because a bunch of 4chan fuckers found out she’s trans and decided to doxx her and harass her employer about the ~image~ she was sending. like this wasn’t her public face account, she wasn’t spouting racist garbage, she mistook someone in her mentions for one of the randos she gets regularly harassed by (because, yknow, if someone tweets “language” at you on twitter, 99.9% of the time they’re not actually concerned for you) and transphobes used the opportunity to fuck up her life. it’s great that hickam is behind her on this but a lot of people are sharing this and laughing at how hilarious it is that “a furry got fired for swearing”, which is the smokescreen being used to cover how this was doxxing a trans woman to ruin her potential careerI’m seeing this slew of “why you should keep your personal info private/separate and secret from your public and job related stuff” more and more and that’s a reliefSad to say that it’s precisely to keep everyone safe from the people who want to doxx, harass, and make people miserable and not because someone is trying to trick someone else -- source link
