- Faye Kinely received an unsolicited dick pic from a 20-year-old man
- Sends hers back to him and is attacked with misogynistic statements
Scottish transwoman Faye Kinley received an unwanted message after a 20-year-old-male sent a picture of his privates to her in an attempt to create intimacy. He captioned his message with, “hey girl, you are so sexy.”
Kinley has never met the man before. She told PinkNews that she is used to getting disrespected like that since she gets them all the time.
The man did not know that Kinley was a transwoman and was surprised when Kinley sent a picture of hers.
“For some reason it just crossed my mind to send one back and the response was exactly as I expected.
“This random guy somehow got my number off here and sent me a dick pic and I guess he didn’t appreciate it when I sent a picture of mine back,” Kinley added.

The man then gave out offensive replies and was labelled as a trans mysoginist.
Her tweet went viral with over 13,000 retweets and over 70,000 likes which made nearly 6,000 people follow her.
“Honestly, the responses have 99 percent positive and funny,”
Kinley did have transphobic responses but that did not affect her that much because she expected it, plus her fans were defending her.
Kinley says that it is not her fault that men find her attractive.

“But the fact that these men want to clearly have sex with me before even knowing I’m Trans and then act all appalled and transphobic afterwards just validated to me that it has nothing to do with my gender not being valid.”
Dating apps, on the other hand, are not exactly the friendliest when it comes to trans people. People on these apps are usually straight and are disgusted when the app gives them a trans person as an option for dating.
Only recently did these apps start giving users the option of identifying themselves as trans.
