Hello, fellow witches! I am hoping one person here has a screenshot or archive of the Twitter exchange where lil OJ called a user a bigot for asking him if he would go down on a trans man - my Google-fu is failing me. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me out Smile

Can't help with screenshots but the feminists who were asking him this question were mocking him by calling it the "cunnilingus challenge". IIRC, he fell for it at first and got all Owen Angry and complained about homophobia. After that he refused to answer.

He was sufficiently sanctimonious and outraged to blog about it though:

Here’s another example. I wrote a piece supporting trans rights last year, which led to one of the most surreal and intense twitter storms I have ever been subjected to. So-called ‘trans exclusive radical feminists’ — that is, those who reject the idea trans women are women — were frankly disgusted with me. Every day, I had demands placed on me to take up the ‘cunnilingus challenge’. Apparently, by supporting trans rights I was implicitly arguing that lesbians had to have sex with pre-operative trans women (no, me neither — my belief is that people should, well, have sex only with people they want to have sex with). Therefore to be consistent, as a gay man, I had to perform cunnilingus on a pre-operative trans man. On a daily basis, I was attacked with increasingly vitriolic attacks: I was a misogynist and lesbophobic. When one my closest friends tweeted a picture of us hanging out, she was denounced for hanging out with a misogynist. And so on.

Firewomon, who I think originally asked the question, no longer appears to be on Twitter.

I imagine Lil Owen has deleted most of the tweets.

Looks like he has, but thank you all for your help Grin
