shampoowarrior! How's it going. I'm good. First off, she has sympathy because she received a harsher response for having called him out on what she purported him to have said than for having lied. So no, I never said that it was "purely for being transgender". What she got hatemail for was the fact that she was a transgender person who was extremely visible on a lot of popular websites. Before people knew that she was fabricating the story, people were exclaiming how much she was a freak and how they wanted to kill her. At the stage when the questionability of the social media outpouring began, the hate mail was already flowing. Don't act as though the hate mail was something that came about that she deserved. It wasn't. The hate mail existed for her nature. Any of those Twitter accounts that you found - you put those in the spotlight, and they will get quite a lot of hate mail. It's not the first time this has happened and it certainly won't be the last.
BruiserBear! Sup. Unfortunately, her culpability in creating this bad situation is irrelevant to the matter of the hate mail. The hate mail would have occurred no matter how legitimate her claim was. Honestly, the comedian could have been explicitly transphobic, and no matter what, she would have gotten the exact same hate mail. The hate mail isn't being sent because she lied, it's being sent because she put herself in the public eye.
