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.

    It literally wouldnt, this handwringing is unneeded for someone who does not care about you and is not doing this for security reasons

      What part of ‘riot’ are you missing here? I care about all the other people who could be injured as much as I do here. Why don’t you?

        What part of “airport” are you missing? People cannot flood into an airport. People in an airport cannot afford to abandon their gates to go mob some random celeb.

        This is a made up problem that doesnt happen to any of the equally famous people who fly first class with zero issues.

        Youre hand wringing for someone who wouldnt even give you the time of day
