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.

        In all of your fervent defending of a non-issue, have you ever wondered why people go crazy to cause a security issue? It’s because they all want to see their carefully curated bff tay-tay, an image created and maintained by Swift Inc. This is their own problem, and they do it to feed the fanatics that pour every penny they have into an imaginary persona. How the hell is everyone not realizing she’s a BILLIONAIRE, where do you think that money is coming from? It’s the same people that are now “security threats” apparently.

        This is like getting mad at the news for showing black friday purchase riots. You’re completely ignoring all of the situation to defend the poor companies being swarmed with customers.
