RE: Big weekend for some close friends... ** Sensitive Topic: Transgender**

in #hottopics7 years ago

From the video I saw, Ms. Dier's accusations were out of line. Not everyone can or should fight every battle, and most people won't even fight their own battles. I don't feel obligated to defend someone's actions because they're LGBT anymore than I do because they're not. There's a time and place, and just because Ms. McGowan is talking about one thing that has affected her very personally doesn't mean she doesn't care about the other thing. I think she tried to handle it gracefully at first, and Ms. Dier wasn't having it. We can't expect everyone with "privilege" to take bullets for us, and accuse them of bigotry when they dare to prioritize their own problems. Ms. Dier jumped Ms. McGowan and expected her to drop whatever she was doing and pay attention to hershould Ms. McGowan care? Can you really make her care? Even assuming she doesn't, is that really the best way to gain her support?, using violence against trans women as a cover. That is the very attitude Ms. McGowan and the #metoo hashtag are trying to point out. If I was Ms. McGowan, I would have lit that chick up for trying to make my book signing all about her. Why

Sure to all of that, except what I said was Rose is transphobic, I didn't really look to far into this incident because it doesn't matter past that to me. I don't have an opinion on the right and wrong of it. They both felt they where right, its murkey as to the truth of it, watching the tape it felt wrong but meh, we all trying to survive. The point I was making, and still am making is that Rose is transphobic, clearly and without question. Also the trans haters came out immediately to below this women's life apart, because she's trans. I give zero fucks really about the situation they are both riding coat tails to seek fame they didn't earn however...only one of them is transphobic, and that's Rose, just saying🤗🤗🤗💜🦄
