Transcats
Profession or hobby Troll (hobby)
Website

Transcats is a troll in the otherkin community. She is active on Tumblr, and her style of trolling closely mimics the earlier troll Prince Koyangi[1]. She claims to be a twenty-year-old "Cis, vegan, multiracial, bisexual, demisexual, pagan, plural, transspecies, witch". Her more over-the-top claims include that she owns a cat who is the person who should have been born in her body[2], that her parents have had to force her to bathe[3], that the term "batshit" is based on oppression of bats by humans[4], and that "I transcend the traditional human concept of gender since I am a cat. I am not just a her, but a cher."[5] On January 22, 2013, she posted a blog entry labeled "F That", vowing that she will continue to blog, but will never post in the otherkin tag again, and that users who post in it should "take a long walk off a short bridge."[6] Two days later she made another post indicating that her trolling of the otherkin tag on tumblr would, in fact, continue.[7]
