I've seen several sites mention this, it's real.

Do not make the MISTAKE of thinking you need to put your side forward. The Guardian is transphobic as fuck, and will twist your words. DO NOT ENGAGE.

By the way, this is in the aftermath of the Cass Report, and the goal will be to make Trans DIY something that needs to be regulated or stamped out. DO NOT ENGAGE.

What have distinguished all history's grand strategists and can distinguish you, too, are specific, detailed, focused goals.

This haziness unbalances our plans from the beginning and sets them on a chaotic course.

Our emotions infect us with hazy desire: we want fame, success, security--something large and abstract.

You are not aware of how difficult such a life can be.
