MODERATORS
Classic internet transphobe behavior was to say, "I sexually identify as an attack helicopter" to mock anyone with any sort of gender diverse presentation. It became an often posted copypasta, that was pretty much unavoidable on the internet a decade or so ago.
A trans author took that idea from the meme seriously. What if someone could be an attack helicopter, as their gender? They wrote a work of speculative fiction in which the military uses gender as a form of coercive control.
People on the internet assumed the author was a bigot, and bullied the author off the internet, and into detransitioning as I recall.
