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.

    Seems to me it is when we are on the toilet that we are at our most reasonable.

    I also know next to nothing about Taylor Swift, but if her “Swifties” want it, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s one of the first jet-setting celebs with a hydrogen or electric aircraft.

    I think it would be smart PR, as well as ‘the right thing to do,’ for her to invest in some companies to help herself (and the rest of us) get to that point.
