Online friend of mine I've known for a long time has been slowly dropping hints and is now openly talking about trooning out and sending pics of himself crossdressing.
The progression and escalation has been quite typical: first it was all "as a joke", then he said yeah he crossdresses sometimes but he'd never send pictures like this to me. Today it progressed to him sending pics of him crossdressing in order to prove to me how he perfectly passes as female.
Now, he has a massive amish beard and is shaped like an actual rectangle. He's a construction worker. Huge hands and feet. And he actually thinks he passes. Whatever hellish discord server it is that's grooming him, they brainwashed him into thinking he passes.
I've been gentle, telling him that wearing a dress doesn't actually make him female and no one will ever think he looks like a woman. I know that his psycho "friends" are all working hard to convince him to block me for being an evil TERF, so I've been trying to show him that I care for him and that these people are groomers, perverts and liars.
He's adamant that he passes. Artist's rendition of how well he passes below.
