u/andreaplanbee hates posting Apr 26 '16

ok a real explanation:

Fake goth scandal

In 2016, she has repeatedly had people's accounts on Facebook banned for calling her a "fake goth".[18][19] Several hundred people have been banned from Facebook for posting the phrase 'Cathy Brennan is a fake goth' or variations thereof; in a perfect demonstration of the Streisand effect; this has resulted in the phrase 'Cathy Brennan is a fake goth' becoming a growing Internet meme that was shared publicly on Facebook approximately 45,000 times in the three days since the original incident.

She's also a public figure who's really transphobic. She doxxes people telling everyone their former names and gender assigned at birth and doesn't see any irony in finding this meme rude.

'Really transphobic' doesn't even begin to describe the sheer unplumbed depths of the absolute, horrifying, seething hatred she has for trans women. She has outed trans teenagers to their parents.

She even has a list of criminals on her website that she claims are transgender, which to her proves that trans women are prone to crime, irregardless of the facts, if the criminals are event trans to begin with, or even just basic common fucking sense.

She is honestly one of the worst people i have ever encountered on the Internet.
