    No, see, because she makes a YouTube which is popular to finance surgery. And that's... uh... bad?

    IDK. I guess people are still upset because Natalie used the V-word in her last video.

        It's just another edition of "We Live In A Society".

        People with the highest profiles enjoy the highest incomes. So we need to do what exactly? Discourage people from earning money via social media? Impose mandatory waiting periods on trans-surgery, so everyone can suffer equally? Arbitrarily shame people for doing the thing that everyone else in the community is trying to achieve?

        All because a Transwoman is dunking on the d-tier punditry of a prior decade on Twitter?

        Wtf?

        This is the same toxic reactionary attitude I see in the red-pilled corners of Reddit. It's Michelle Malkin levels of discourse. Just finding any fucking thing to villainize. Why not creep outside Natalie's window and complain about her countertops while you're at it?

          youre mischaracterizing what i said. ideal society, yes, we all get surgeries and thatd be more than awesome. our society right now, there is a multimillionaire scolding poor trans people and supporting their oppressors and she is unable to understand why she is wrong because she hasnt had to deal with the discrimination most trans people receive.

          also, dont say transwoman its trans woman. trans is an adjective.

            This is a twitter pundit commenting on the contradictions of corporate media criticism as an outsider looking in. Even with a superficial class analysis, Natalie fails to rank beside your Chuck Todds or Joe Rogans.

            she is unable to understand why she is wrong

            You're in the same damned boat. So busy trying to take pot shots at someone with a higher profile that you've missed the criticism entirely.
