Thanks for pointing out my error Tamsin. That should have read "Catfishing does not apply to THIS CD/Trans community."
Despite the parsing of the phrase, the underlying motive for catfishing is deception, for whatever purpose. Whilst there have been trolls on these boards, they are usually caught out very quickly by both members and staff.
And while it is true that there have been some posters here whose tales are.. less than believable, I haven't encountered anyone on these boards who fit the catfish profile.
