Here’s a funny (but also FUCKKKKK) moment that just happened to me. Figured y’all would like to hear.

So there’s this large group chat for students that are going to the college I plan on transferring to in the fall. I was trying to send a link to the course catalog projection but my dumb ass accidentally sent this instead:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/andr.12278

I immediately deleted it but like two people saw it immediately cuz of the link preview. I have no clue if it briefly shows to people who just open up the chat or not. I said “oops, was helping a friend look for stuff” trying to play it cool 😑. I may or may not have accidentally just outed myself to an entire group of people.

    I would not assume in that situation that the person sending that link was trans even a little, I think you’re in the clear!

    College students got enough crap going on, easy enough to pass off as a random interest for some essay or another.

    I think you’re in the clear lol. Reminds me of the times I left trans stuff open on my laptop in front of my brother before I was out. Turns out he already knew anyway, since instagram recommended my profile haha
