I saw someone say it was because she’s supporting dems but that doesn’t seem like enough for the amount of dunking I’ve seen. Did y’all think she was so far to the left that that would be a betrayal? I’ve typically thought of her as a progressive more than a leftist. Is there some statement she made I’m not aware of?

    It was Buck Angel, and when I first came out a dozen years ago his views were already trending towards yikes but he was not nearly the pariah he became when the transmedicalist discourse really flared up. Back then he was called “tranpa” (like Grandpa) and still respected for his advocacy during a time when there were few visible trans men doing that work. And iirc he was just given a role reading a quote in a vid, there wasn’t much of a platform to be had there. I don’t think he should have been in that video, but I’m also not someone clamoring to cancel her.

      It feels like cancelling someone for not understanding the political leanings of a porn star is kinda dumb. I guess I’ve never thought of him more than someone who was used in memes.

      I wish people knew more about Lou Sullivan and Alan Hart. We’ve got the U2 guys kid, Elliot Page (who is pretty cool), and a weird transmedicalist who simultaneously thinks that bottom surgery is mutilation (and did porn).
