So the day before an election that she's going to be annihilated in by an opponent who won't even acknowledge her, an article accidentally outs her biggest fib, to the point she openly has to censor it in front of everyone?

A toast, Kiwis. The ride never ends.

And @W person cow, I would LOVE your reaction to this chain of events. According to you, there's nothing to indicate she's trans and only we believe that. What do you think got the writer of this article confused, if you had to guess?
 
This'll be his new schtick when he loses the election -- the thing he'll whinge about for the foreseeable future. "I lost my election because some transphobes in the media called me a tranny. I AM A TRUE AND HONEST WOMAN, but getting wrongly called a tranny bothers me. Clearly this is Trump's fault and you should give me money." Fuckin' bet on it.

Nah, if he mentions being a tranny negatively it wouldn't just go poorly for him because of Mrs. Streisand, but because saying anything against them at this point is socjus suicide. I think he's going to steer well clear of the big T. He has the old standbys of misogyny and gamergate harassment to go to.
 
Wu would have had a hell of a time hiding her own Washington "Post" down there if she had actually been elected.

Oh look at me, already speaking in past tense.
 
Hot take: It's always been Brianna's plan to get outed eventually, at which point she will pivot to being a trans activist (On twitter) and claim that she can't be held accountable for lies about her gender in the past because of how society looks down on people trans people. It's better to get "outed" like this instead of admitting it yourself because then you can work that into a series of tweets about how the evil newspaper outed you and it transphobic and must apologize.

However, I think her ideal scenario would have been for this to happen in the distant future when she might need to boost her profile a little bit if one of her various hustles didn't work out.

Still funny though.

After watching John's asshole clench even so briefly over his most precious lie being threatened, I have to wonder if he realizes even with this backhanded retraction (which is effectively meaningless, it still says the same thing it did before), that means his Wikipedia article is now in greater danger of later gaining enough reputable sources that even the most determined whitewasher can't do shit to keep his house of cards together.

The general policy on trans issues on Wikipedia isn't going to change. In the vast majority of cases it really doesn't matter, and even in those few where it arguably does, like John's article, the article itself shouldn't even exist, as this man is not notable.
 
Once that comes out, he has to start either defending the indefensible actions of John Walker Flynt or call himself a dumbass and misogynist. Will be fun to see the agony of it all.

I think the funniest of all possible outcomes is if the whole reason Brianna clings to the "true & honest woman!" shtick is because, against all odds, Frank doesn't know.

Better? :lol:

Frank has to know. It's why he's always screaming in every picture (at least that's what I like to think).

John Walker Flynt, notorious homophobe and racist, utterer of such phrases as "fat dyke" and "sand nigger."

Although it’s really unlikely, this scenario is absolutely one of the zanniest and a lot of fun trying to imagine.

I feel like he wants to keep the charade up for as long as possible because he really wants to be a badass tech godzilla Porsche and motorcycle riding woman but can't, but has thought of this as a contingency plan just in case.
 
Came back from playing ping pong at the park, made myself a drink and decided I'll maybe go to sleep earlier. "Well", I thought, "I could maybe check Wu's thread, it's so close to election's climax, something is going to go wrong".

And now I feel like I've been kissed by shitposting angel on the lips.

Or, in immortal words of Zapp,

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
