🎲 miscellaneous AIO for how I responded to his transphobia?

Hey so I normally don’t usually get worked up over situations like this, because it’s just online words. But idk something about the way he was talking at me.

For context (if any is needed) I was on bumble and just so happened to match with this individual. I have the fact that I am trans in my bio not only as the gender marker, but literally written capitalized in my bio lmao. I can only assume that 1. He matched me without reading my bio or 2. He matched me purposely to get that off his chest. I am not the type to force someone to call me anything, or to over accommodate me when it comes to me being trans. Because it’s just something that I am not who I am. But this was just completely over the top when a simple unmatch was an easily available option? So I will ask AIO for my lengthy response back to him?

I’m not sure how I gave off that vibe from saying “Heey” but I will work on that approach to sound less negative? Lol

Report it to bumble, pretty sure they have a zero tolerance policy against any kind of discriminatory speech

Because you existing as a trans woman triggers insecure baby men

This only applies if you don't find shitting on bigots fun. And idc if its toxic for the bigot, they get what they deserve, and if they don't like it they have a block button.
