Thanks for the rundown. Being trans seems hard enough, adding in being called a faker can only compound that.
And the medical sciences always seem to be behind the zeitgeist on these kinds of issues, huh? I think homosexuality wasn't delisted as a psychiatric condition until like the 80s?
it comes from a place of "if we appease the cis and don't allow the people who are too weird into our circle, society will accept us". which is fundamentally a reactionary place as you start dividing the in-group from the out-group on essentialist lines.
I felt charitably about it for a long time but her attitude about it has been straight up combative for too long to really buy that as an explanation. the way you act represents the way you think better than the mere words coming out of your mouth. if her incentives are leading her to reaction, she has the remarkable freedom to change her incentives, being a petit bourgeois minor celebrity.
Not much. For this site specifically, I think some don't like that she's more like "socialist-adjacent" than outright socialist. I don't care myself, but I think some do.
This was also well before covidcovid and election year that she said it. Seemed like a sincere "this is what itllitll take for me to go mask off" thing
close bets on whether we can have a contrapoints thread without it turning into a struggle session
What the fuck is even controversial about Natalie though? Is it like a bad take or?

Oh yeah the Buck Angel thing. Thats part of why she no longer does voicovers/collabs with other randos.

Ah i see. Still shes super useful for deprogramming "facts and logic" types. Right Conditions are still required but shes a damn effective catalyst.

A portion of the left twitter community really did not like some of her takes on certain trans issues. She's explained it in videos before.
