Still playing the “let me guess where my daughter is now” game.

3 days as a woman on twitter. Read it.
THE GREAT TWITTER GENDER SWAP EXPERIMENT OF 2019
Allison Floyd had been floating an idea around for awhile for men to change their avi’s and bios to women genders and continue to twitter as normal.
The idea was simple.
I was told I was stealing valor. Or that I enjoyed killing. The insults ran the gamut. It was demoralizing. It was heartbreaking. It was insulting. It made me feel like garbage.
I know they thought they were talking to a woman. But it was still me. Men showed their true colors.
When I talk about my service as a man, it seems like I’m perceived as coming from a place of authority. I should be listened to and that my experiences are moral stories of why violence is a thing to be avoided.
I want to see her face on signs everywhere Trump goes. “Another woman killed by Trump”
