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.

        She has a private jet. That’s what was being tracked.

        But yes, I still understand that you think a chartered flight and a private jet are the same thing.

          Aight so lets just ignore that the 2015 mobbing happened on a chartered flight

          You understand that a chartered flight doesnt stop the exact problem with the private flights? She isnt planepooling a chartered flight. Youre arguing for her to solve a problem she doesnt have with a solution that keeps the actual problem

                  Chartered flights do the exact same thing that is the issue with private flights.

                  So, yes, you do think the problem is that the plane is owned by one person.

                    You do know that there are many examples where commercial airlines are not practical, right?

                    Medical flights, for example.

                    Then there are indigenous communities in Alaska where chartering a flight is the easiest way off the island. I suppose we should fuck them over like we usually do.
