I wanted to comment and say that you cannot just disregard the fear of harassment because there might be those two motives.

But I realised, I myself am afraid of being harassed if I don’t post from a throwaway account.

Maybe that fear is not justified — I never heard of KiwiFarms before Cloudflare booted them. I don’t mind people writing crazy stuff intended to offend.

Harassment is a pretty solid breach of the golden rule.

yeah but they have no reason to doxx you. you're just a regular person. if it turned out you supplied life changing drugs to minors behind their parents backs that were brewed in your bathtub, maybe then you'd have a problem. they dont just see a trans person and then decide to harass them

That literally isn't what was happening.

thats what is currently happening with keffals. not that kf is equivalent to HN or the like in terms of being nice, but this keffals isnt just a random trans person they latched on to and decided to harass. they (keffals) have done some seriously immoral stuff

Actually, yes, they do do exactly that.
