Hello Beehaw,

I have recently witnessed a few worrisome incidents of online bullying and harassment towards transgender individuals. It was incredibly uncomfortable to witness. My attempts to show kindness to the bullying victim were met with measured hostility. The victims of these attacks were targeted individuals.

Beehaw, I am asking for your help to build up my online toolkit, so I can better prepare myself to be an ally. I want to know - How can I help? What can this random internet person do to show that somebody out there cares? What should I try to be careful of?

    Based on the comments on this post, so far my toolkit consists of: leave, report the offender, and learn to protect myself.

    I am not satisfied with these answers.

    I am asking for ways to show support to a victim of online bullying and harassment.

    I will continue on my search to find the answers I am looking for. But I will not be satisfied until the people who have suffered feel safe to share their real, lived experiences, and can freely offer their insights without fear.
