The same way they attack women with broad shoulders that they encounter in public bathrooms because they think they're trans women and therefore just men trying to sneak in there and peep at women.

I saw all that go down on Twitter when it happened, so it was a relief to see that they couldn't just come here and pretend all that didn't happen and rope in more innocent people, but it's also disappointing to see people encouraging it.
There was an app recently that did just that. It had you send in a picture to confirm you were a woman and would reject born-females for "being male". If your nose was too big, voice too deep, makeup not on, skin too dark... Google "Giggle App" to see what I mean.

I would recommend that this Discord just do away with the confirmation process they have and deal with creeps as they arrive. Besides, if someone nasty wanted to get in - they would find a way regardless. Voice changers are getting better these days and its not hard to find a photo of a girl from Facebook and pretend to be her.
