How Twitter can ruin a life
Isabel Fall’s sci-fi story “I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter” drew the ire of the internet. This is what happened next.

Wow, I couldn’t finish that. There are many bat-sh!t crazy people out there. If you are male, be a man. If you’re female, be a woman. Each has unique blessings and curses.
If it's masculine, it ain't a HER!
Twitter is evil but it can’t ruin your life if you don’t let it. It is a regressive microcosm of better-than-thou idjits. That includes Christian Conservatives if they still use it.
I rather like the attack helicopter thing. Sounds like fun. But I have no ammo.
Mental illness ruined his life.
Using Twitter is akin to taking a dip in Lake Erie back in a year like 1975.
More like, how being delusional and stupid ruins your life.
It’s a great science fiction story that tries to speculate, if brain chemistry can now make a man identify as a woman, could brain chemistry be manipulated to make someone identify as something else his or her body is not ... like an attack helicopter.
After initially liking it, the woke science fiction crowd turned against it furiously.
The story’s view that transition could be externally manipulated or could be from a good or neutral state to a bad state (an attack helicopter carrying out nasty attacks) threatened their notion that transgenderism was unique, pure, self-emergent and authentic.
The fact that the story was not declared to be written by someone known to be transgender him/herself also infuriated the notion that everyone except straight white Christian males has the sole right to tell their stories, and straight white Christian males should shut up.
Some time later, the editor of the story said that it was written by a man in the process of transitioning to a female identity, and this new Vox story repeats that. The Vox story also puts out that the author committed himself for suicidal feelings because of people being mean on Twitter. All those things still have no public evidence.
Bkmk
I have a book titled ‘The Ship Who Could Sing,’ which while a much older book would send the leftists nuts crazier than they currently are by this story.
Forgot who wrote it.....
I pull it out every so often because it is a wonderfully written book.
I’m not normally a sci-fi fan...very few authors wrote well.
And once the feminists started writing the genre really went nuts.
Don't destroy people on Twitter until you know they're conservative.
Setting aside all of the noise, it’s a well-written piece. The archived copy is cited in a footnote to the Wiki article:

Twitter didn’t ruin any life.
There is no such thing as a trans woman.
There is no such thing as a masculine identity.
People’s comments on Twitter don’t constitute reality.
Twitter isn’t reality.
“the intersection of gender and American hegemony” is meaningless babble.
No sane person needs to figure out his/her gender.
No sane person explores his/her gender.
Why you should never put an article in front of my face and ask my opinion.
Should be titled “How Twitter Idiots Can Save a Life”. After the cancel mob said that the story was clearly not written by a woman, the guy at least paused his progression towards getting himself castrated.
