      Such a Freudian slip to understand penis instead of pants! (And how much do these people talk in the bathroom? Like, let me be!)

      Basic knowledge of the English language and what people do when there aren’t any paper towels would also make any normal person who misheard that very quickly conclude that pants was the word that was said, because it is insane to say you’re going to wipe your hands on your penis to dry them.

      Unfortunately transphobes are not only deeply abnormal, they’re also given newspaper columns instead of therapy.

      I remember this going down in real time when the trans woman in question found the article and realized it was about her. Like, I know, Daily Fail, but Christ.

      Supposing that she did say “I’m gonna wipe my hands dry on my penis” in order to provide a menacing reminder of the existence of her genitalia… How effective of a threat is that, really?

      Like, try imagining someone genuinely trying to dry their hands using their dick. Idk about you, but my mental word cloud for that concept reads something like “weak”, “pathetic”, “lost”, “incompetent”. Not a very threatening concept.
