Not trying to say anything. I just took the parent comment wich said she was AFAB at face value. I have now read the other reply explaining she is trans so I now know I was wrong here.
I think he thought Brianna was AFAB NB based on the comment he’s replying to? In that case, I would have assumed “they/them” or “she/her” but maybe that’s part of the confusion.
😒 she literally says “as a trans woman” in the screenshot and goes on to talk about not being treated as a woman by people. Is she a horrible person? Absolutely. It doesn’t really get more cut-and-dry though.
I 100% agree, but the user “loathsome dongeater” got the pronoun right on the top post of this thread (“Holy shit I didn’t know she was trans herself.”), so clearly something confused him after that.
Yep, getting it right the first time is the only part that left me questioning the second time, but there’s more than enough clues that my faith in it being an accident has been steadily decreasing with time.
I won’t deny that a lack of clarification plays a role, but the way I phrased that perhaps overemphasized time. I do get that time zones exist, but it’s more that as I continued to think about it, it got harder for me to rationalize it as a mistake. That’s hopefully just that I’m catastrophizing things and that the various cues that I think should have been obvious are less apparent to other people.

That’s understandable, I didn’t mean to make you feel like you were catastrophizing (which I don’t think you were).

Frank Wu is her husband.
E: I’m actually pretty damn confused about what you’re trying to say. She is trans.

Thanks!
I’m hoping you didn’t intentionally misgender her here
They have a bunch of previous posts doing trans allyship, and opposing/ridiculing transphobia, so I think they just got really confused.

He’s Indian IIRC, so if by “decreasing with time” you mean the lack of clarification, that’s probably just the timezone offset.

Confirmed by the user that it was a typo.

Was a swipe to type typo. Sorry.
Thank you for clarifying, you didn’t need to delete your OP, there’s an “edit” option to change the wording, if you weren’t aware
True but given how allegedly she her removed references to her transition I didn’t want to keep the image up
