If that "widespread backlash" isn't a call for his head and subsequent dragging out into the street, I don't think it matters anymore.

Because you're mostly JAQing off and dismissing the answers you get.
Also, you did it! Kudos.
That it doesn't matter. These are just comments after all.
Prove it, delete your comment.
Try to avoid writing any songs or singing, I fear you may be tone deaf.
I hope not. The article and video were a little vague on that. Some people apparently cut him off and got out of the car to flip him off, which is a bit much IMHO.
This feels like such a thin reason to get a ticket if you ask me. A rude gesture is just a rude gesture. But... be careful out there! I feel safe enough to flip them off, but I encourage safer forms of heckling them, like pointing and laughing.
"It's not just about what happened to me. It's about everyone in this country. If you disagree, don't retaliate. Don't be violent. Don't try to hurt your neighbor. We're all human,"
I mean, if you believe that, my guy, you shouldn't have bought the nazi truck. You also definitely should not have gotten a fucking gold one. You also ABSOLUTELY shouldn't have driven it around in MASSACHUSETTS. I flip these fucks off when I see them here. I don't agree with physically threatening them, but c'est la vie I guess.
Yep! And it's deleted. Are you suggesting I should have kept it up?

This is the part people will likely get upset about. I'm not pretending when I say I'm a woman. I am trans. Trans folks have been begging for people to respect their identity. It has nothing to do with sexuality, I did not transition in order to be seen as a lesbian woman or as a straight man. I did it to be seen as a woman. The other labels are added on after.
The way you've worded this, it seems like you've taken the trans masc identity and the trust that's been garnered around trans identities and abused it. Your feelings about this are valid, but I really feel you should approach this differently.
If you are feeling uncertain about your gender, then explore that and determine if you truly feel that way. Maybe you are trans masc? Maybe not? If you find yourself struggling with your gender but not rejecting your assigned gender at birth, maybe explore what it means to be genderfluid or nonbinary?
If you feel this is strictly a discomfort with your sexuality labels and perception of them, please find some other ways to convey it that does not involve abusing gender labels.
