Arch Homophobe Matt Barber Follows "Shemalevideos" On Twitter?

I noticed a rather interesting Twitter user on Liberty Counsel attorney Matt Barber's follow list last night. (I added his photo to the screen capture.) Fascinating. Like Matt Barber, I follow lots of my enemies on Twitter, but I don't feel the need to follow straight porn sites to know what the haters are up to.

(Please note: I posted exactly what the article said and am in no way trying to use the phrases they do on the link.)

1. Is that a photo of Matt...the heavy guy? The one with the bent, limp wrist?
Good Lord, how stereotypical.

3. Meh, I got that beat...
Both Maggie Gallagher and Jennifer Roback Morse follow me on Twitter.

OK, so I'm not promoting "shemalevideos" -- I just wanted to brag. LOL

4. It really ruffles my feathers how casually a lot of folks on that post are insinuating
that if he's a "tranny-chaser" he can't be straight, because the logical conclusion to that line of thought is that any woman with a dick (or who used to have a dick) isn't a "real woman."

Now, I'm no great enthusiast for "real woman"/"real man" gender policing, but to set up such a category and then exclude trans people from it is transphobic in effect, even if it's not transphobic in intent, and even if people aren't really thinking about what they're doing.

6. Agreed. But it may be the kind of bigotry that many people can be gently educated out of. n/t

7. I can only hope so. I'm tired of casual transphobia in gay social circles. n/t
