But I will say this, a movement can’t get along without a devil, and across the whole political spectrum there is a misogynistic tendency to choose a female devil, whether it’s Anita Bryant, Hillary Clinton, Marie Antoinette, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or J.K. Rowling [or Taylor Swift]. And there’s always gonna be people who seize on any opportunity to be misogynistic. So I would advise trans people and our allies [or environmentalists] to keep in mind, that J.K. Rowling [Taylor Swift] is not the final boss of transphobia [anti-environmentalism]. She’s not our devil. The devil is the Republican Party, the Conservative Party.

      I’m an Anarchist btw.

      I’d rather cautiously respect a dead principled revolutionary gone wrong and learn from their mistakes than idolize shills for the status quo who abuse their minority status because “wow many colours! Is that blue and purple?”

        You’re comparing a youtuber who makes questionable fashion choices to totalitarians who murdered millions, and want people to believe the youtuber is worse.

        Do you really not see the absurdity in that?
