According to /u/PixieBomb in the dykesgonemild thread:
>You seem to be under the impression that OP is transitioning from female to male.
>She is not.
>She was born male (or, "assigned male at birth"), and while she may identify as female, she has made no effort to present as such.
>This is fine, but it's a little preposterous of her to be posting pictures of herself in a dyke photo subreddit.
>It strikes me as a little silly that you'd find her cute simply based on your apparent misinterpretation she is transitioning from female to male, though. She still looks male in every respect in her picture, regardless of her background.
Screenshots of deleted comments by the mods of dykesgonemild. One. Two.
After seeing all this all I can say is this: /u/kbrooks is the most amazing troll I've ever encountered. Respect to him, or her, ehh.. I'm never really sure which pronoun to use when it comes to kbrooks. Respect.

Pixiebomb is such a fucking douchenozzle. I know a couple women who have facial hair that don't shave it. They aren't any less of women because of that.
If only all "women" could live up to he expectation of the stereotypical female.
go translife yourself, ya chucklefucking kbrooks coddler. PixieBomb is the only sensible person in that thread that isn't lying their ass off in fear that kbrooks might be a retard that got lost.
The women I know with facial hair aren't trans. They're natural born females.
Pixiebomb is a stupid cunt that perpetuates sexist and gender stereotypes. But feel free to go fuck yourself.
it's a sub for dykes, not wanna-be carnival sideshow bearded ladies. they have every right to boot his tumblr whore ass out.
it's like a tall person posting in a fucking midget sub because he's transheight. get real.

Is that Bono?
uhmmm... thanks, i guess? you shouldn't have gone to such trouble though.
This... probably deserves a tag. I have no earthly inkling what tag, however.
a hefty orange one !
sweet jesus.
I wasn't commenting on the poster. I was commenting on Pixiebombs sexist, gender-policing ass.
Sweet reading comprehension though, brah.
> I was commenting on Pixiebombs sexist, gender-policing ass
as i was countering that opinion by agreeing with her, and others, that questioned kbrooks's motives and/or sanity.
sweet defiance of linear causality, brah.

Women with facial hair aren't any less of women if they don't shave it. You're a dumbass.
>that questioned kbrooks's motives and/or sanity.
I don't give a shit what people think about trolls.

some folks think cucumbers taste better pickled. that man is growing brillo.
He most certainly is.
see that? we found common ground. :) wanna cyber?
Oh, you seem not to have enjoyed all of the things I wrote over there :( Sorry.
The rest of SRD sure as hell did. Shit was cash.
Edit: "It makes me wonder if she's not just doing it for the attention or the SJW credibility, and if she's able to make other trans people question this, I have no doubt she's causing the same reaction from cis people."
You pretty much nailed it there.
No problem. I don't expect anything more from the transgender crowd.
Yes, we are notoriously oppressive and elitist and all that, after all.
>have facial hair
Do you understand how incredibly vague this description is? The facial hair evident in that pic is way beyond what typically appears on women. Hell, it's beyond what typically appears on men.
It's pretty much a neckbeard.
Seriously, I wish I could grow a beard resembling anything close to that. Properly trimmed and groomed, tho.
>is way beyond what typically appears on women
Well I'm sure glad the facial hair police are here to tell women how much facial hair they're allowed to have before they're considered women or not.
You guys are so full of yourselves.
This, from an account named "transethnic"? 100% troll.
Not necessarily, keep in mind Poe's law. There are a lot of dumb people out there.
Stop oppressing me.
