We’ve spoken about trans Twitter mainstay Brianna Wu before, at some length. And while Wu has a time-honored legacy of stepping in sh*t while promoting harmful, truscum opinions about transition, her latest drop is truly a doozy.
When Wu previously told trans folks that we needed to basically focus on binary trans folks with traditional dysphoria symptoms in order to avoid being attacked by every right-wing politician, she hadn’t publicly come out as trans yet.
RelatedSomeone just stepped in it, big time.
This week, Wu finally came out in service of sh*tting on trans folks who don’t fit “classical symptoms” of gender dysphoria according to some old textbooks that she dug up for no reason.

Obviously, trans folks are not having it.
If you didn’t think that trans folks could fall into the pick me category, think again. Because it’s a lot easier to blame your own community for their persecution than accept that we live in a country that hates trans people and wants them dead.
But if you look closely, there’s something even worse going on here. For instance, what’s all this talk about a Porsche? Let’s check the board.
Brianna Wu likes to tell us about her Porsche collection. And sure, lots of rich folks like to collect fancy cars. But trans folks have been wondering lately about where Wu’s money comes from, and how she can afford all these sick rides.
Twitter users may have just made the connection.
If you’ve noticed the recent, well-timed trend of queer folks selling out their own communities using anti-gay propaganda, it probably won’t come as a surprise to learn that Russian money might be behind it. Because for the most part, people don’t just wake up and turn against their own best interests. Usually there’s a check behind it.
What does this have to do with Brianna Wu? Well…
The TL;DR: Wu recently stood up for Tenet Media employee Lauren Southern, and after a bombshell report came out exposing Tenet’s Russian finding and pro-Trump ties, people started putting two and two together.
And the evidence is pretty damning!
So is Wu is the pocket of the Russians? We don’t know, but we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that this sudden truscum turn has been a long time in the making, and has been lining the pockets of so many detransitioners and anti-trans turncoats for years.
When Charli XCX sang “I’ve been fantasizing ’bout a Porsche,” she didn’t know the half of it.
