Like in the thread “Say something that is true to a person in 1985 that will make you sound like a crazy person” post 125, where he deliberately misgendered Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, calling her a “trans man.” I called him out for it\* (but nobody saw my rebuke because at that point the thread stopped happening). He was probing to see how much off-topic transphobia he could sneak into a thread and get away with it. Other off-topic transphobic posts in that thread got moderated; I don’t want Sam to get away with deliberately being obnoxious to trans women. Consider him busted.

\*with this:
