(No faces.) A trans woman active in campus queer politics confronted me today. My boyfriend posts pictures of our kink sessions to his Tumblr. I'm a gay male college student in a healthy relationship with a bisexual guy. Said third party, the trans activist, has threatened reprisals against the couple unless they stop posting pictures of their kink sessions on Tumblr.Īccording to the letter-which, to be clear, is anonymous and unverifiable-the trans activist has nothing to do with the couple: 'ze' is simply triggered by the mental image of them dominating each other. Of course not, says sex columnist Dan Savage, in response to an insane letter from a gay man whose consensual BDSM relationship with another student is traumatizing a completely unrelated third party.
Should adults stop posting naughty pictures of themselves-on their own blogs-because the images are considered 'triggering' by an unhinged transgender activist?
