But I will say this, a movement can’t get along without a devil, and across the whole political spectrum there is a misogynistic tendency to choose a female devil, whether it’s Anita Bryant, Hillary Clinton, Marie Antoinette, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or J.K. Rowling [or Taylor Swift]. And there’s always gonna be people who seize on any opportunity to be misogynistic. So I would advise trans people and our allies [or environmentalists] to keep in mind, that J.K. Rowling [Taylor Swift] is not the final boss of transphobia [anti-environmentalism]. She’s not our devil. The devil is the Republican Party, the Conservative Party.
Ngl, I do agree with this for Swift. Like she has problems with it and now made a dumb comment that broke the camel’s back and now people are meme-ing it, but she isn’t literally the biggest threat.
I’d say the case is pretty different for Rowling though. She definitely did her best to spread transphobia everywhere.
Just be wary which voices you amplify when you throw your argument onto the pile. Perhaps try mentioning other millionaires/billionaires who are also guilty of this behaviour.
I dunno about you guys, but my enemy are billionaires. I feel it’s my duty to do them harm. Taylor has done great things in terms of voting awareness. But the plane thing is a whole different thing for me, and I go after Musk, Bezos and every other billionaire just as hard. In fact I was willing to ignore Taylor’s status as a billionaire and was on her side, until she sued, because at that point she used her billionaire privilege to shut someone below her down, so that’s what I’m gonna judge her on

I like Natalie, but also it’s possible to criticize someone (Swift) while also acknowledging that they aren’t the one doing the most harm.

always remember
swift does not profit from flying planes
oil lobbyists do.
What? She profits from the places she flies to, what’s the difference?
