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 pretty sure he can’t take a bus from London to New York. And I would be very surprised if he flies commercial when he crosses the ocean.
Obviously if she can get there without being so wasteful, she should. That was not my point. In fact, I specifically referenced The Beatles flying on a private plane when they first came to America. That would include Paul McCartney.
Idk how any of that is relevant. If Paul, at the height of his game, could ride a bus without being robbed then Taylor Swift can fly commercial with an entire airport’s worth of security watching her back
Are you under the impression that he was going to gigs on a Greyhound?
It was a private bus.
Are you typing from the mad max universe?
Yes, in my Mad Max universe, rock stars take private buses across the country when going from gig to gig. That would never happen in the real world.
And people spawn out of nowhere high on meth in airports whenever celebs are around, apparently.
Its like youve never even seen an airport, just heard about them in myths
Yep. Again. Never happened ever. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/taylor-swift-mobbed-by-fans-delays-flights-at-japan-airport/articleshow/47147634.cms?from=mdr
Right, on the private flight that publicly announces her destination and time of arrival, which tells people where to plan to all congregate.
Wait, you mean thats only a thing for private flights? GASP
Exactly how many times do you need to be told that there is a difference between a chartered jet and a private jet?
He takes public city busses in NYC, London, and probably other places. Of course he’s not taking a city bus on tour with him it’s weird you would even imply that’s what I meant

Looks like he rides the bus in Liverpool where he grew up and in New York where they’re used to seeing famous people on public transportation.
So not, say, Kansas City.
And if he, a much bigger star, can reguarly ride a public bus around Manhattan without being mobbed I am confident that Taylor Swift could handle going through VIP checkin at Laguardia surrounded by armed security just like scores of other celebrities do.
Here’s a list of 8 of them.

And here’s another list of 26 more

Or she could charter a flight. I still don’t see what is so bad about chartering a flight. Do you think if she didn’t charter a flight, the thousands of other charter flights wouldn’t happen? This is like complaining about limousines.
She could also fly commercial, there’s no reason not to
Apart from, you know, the security risk I was talking about.
I’m not even talking about something hypothetical here.

The only reason that wasn’t worse is because Japan is a polite society overall.
