unironically can't bring myself to hate her though because she was one of the people who made me start to see some of the cracks in capitalist realism

    Maybe because she's consistently had dogshit takes about non-binary people or how we're taking "transness" too far:

    Before anyone jumps in with the, "But she's made x y z videos claiming she supports these people," you can claim whatever you want all day. Doesn't really matter if your actions don't back that up. Just how my mom's a lib that keeps insisting she's my ally, but in the next sentence will go on about how it/its pronouns are dehumanizing and refuses to use them.

        ✅weird trans gatekeeping (I have never seen someone say you “don’t have to be trans to be trans”, the closest I’ve ever seen is just basic anti-transmedicalism, this entire take tastes like transmedicalism)

        This is literally transmedicalism. She platforms transmedicalists.

        exclusionary of sex-positive ace people, based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what ace people are (they lack sexual attraction, not libido)

        really makes you think

            What does a person without sexual attraction, but with libido, jack off to? Architecture?

                Every top comment in that thread has a different definition for "sex positive ace" in it. Top comment says that "sex positive" means you want sex despite not being attracted to anyone in particular, top reply says that it actually means you don't want sex but you're willing to do it if your partner wants it, third comment says that the "sex positive" part actually means that you're fine with other people having sex. Then there's "allosexual" which apparantly means "you can like sex and you can be attracted to someone (except when you aren't)", which is such a broad fucking definition I would say that it applies to the entire human race.

                I'm not trying to "gotcha" your identity, I'm just pointing out that saying that "I'm asexual (but sometimes I'm sexual)" is a pretty blatant and obvious self contradiction.

                  saying that “I’m asexual (but sometimes I’m sexual)” is a pretty blatant and obvious self contradiction.

                  Except that asexuality is a spectrum and most people who aren't constantly horny fall somewhere in an area one could describe as a "blatant and obvious self contradiction" if we write off such grey areas as paradoxical. There's asexual orientations that are so normal most people never even get the idea that there could be a label for how they feel, like demisexual. It's actually really productive to let go off the notion that asexuality = robotic Mr. Spock kind of person. I mean, it's also a whole lot less offensive to ace people, but it's also kind of a prerequisite to understand the full extend of human sexuality and i don't mean that in a "understand a low single digit percentile of people who never get aroused and never have relationships" kind of way, i mean that in an "understand how the majority of people feels and frequently doesn't feel sexual desire" kinda way.

      Those strike me as extremely mild posts that make sense for a trans person in their 30s who has to constantly interact with significantly younger ppl to make but clearly mileages vary

          she lost her compassion ticket when she repeatedly doubled down on her bullshit and tried to gaslight everyone and then spent 2 years whining about being canceled.

            that was so frustrating. she literally got genuine academic criticism of her work and she lumped it all in with the trolls, in order to justify ignoring it.
