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.

        So you blame her for being successful? Why not blame the government for not taxing the rich 100% on money recieved over 100 million or some other number so they can’t be billionaires?

          There is no such thing as an ethical millionaire. Let alone a billionaire. Any person that is fine with having a wealth well beyond what they could even spend is not a good person.

          Being sucsessful doea not equate to being a billionaire, to be a billionaire requires mass exploitation. If you think success requires others to be exploited than I truly feel sorry for you, and you have my pitty
