In response to yet another major, previously beloved writer going full transphobe, please consider buying some books from trans authors, won't you?

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Hasn't she been... a problem for a while? I feel like every time her name comes up it is another level of "welp, it got worse."

islandofreil.bsky.social•237 days ago

Yes. I can't remember all the things she's said but most of them have been anywhere from bizarre to outright terrible

smilodonichthys.bsky.social•237 days ago

Well this sucks

I know this is mostly beside the point, but George Foreman was famously one of the strongest men to ever fight. He boxed at almost twice her (Imane's) weight, and JCO is just so ill-informed and inflammatory here.

Jesus Christ I will never understand how wingnuts like this will contemplate a vast conspiracy requiring scores of people with disparate incentives to keep a secret and then go yeah that sounds plausible I bet that's what is happening in this specific situation

cutecreature.bsky.social•237 days ago

literally, if i see a claim and think it over for 5 minutes and go "yeah that would probably involve more than 10 people (who havent been trained by intelligence agencies) keeping a pretty big secret", i pretty much dismiss it out of hand. average people are just NOT that good at keeping secrets

cutecreature.bsky.social•237 days ago

i genuinely think most conspiracies wouldve been leaked for clout if they had been true-- even aside from most conspiracy theories being fascist-adjacent nonsense not worth considering this deeply in the first place

I feel like she's more gullible than anything, but then who's going to correct her on x, the everything app

cursed.monster•237 days ago

JFC, she’s quoting “BRICS News”, a literal propaganda outlet for Russia’s Wish App version of the EU that mostly drops divisive culture war bullshit aimed at gullible westerners, this is just embarrassing

cursed.monster•237 days ago

Though I feel like this is also not the first time she’s leaned into the transphobic garbage? I recall some similar incident a few years ago, though I don’t remember the specifics

pairofclaws.bsky.social•237 days ago

She went on a rant about they/them pronouns a while back but played it off as "I just love the English language so much!" Other, non-transphobia related greatest hits include support for Woody Allen and why depression is a modern invention.

cursed.monster•237 days ago

Yeah, she is the living embodiment of

beezany.bsky.social•238 days ago

yeah i’m surprised, i’ve seen her criticize a bunch of transphobes for promoting this kind of terf shit

haileypiperfights.bsky.social•237 days ago

I went to look, and seems Erin corrected her and she's redacted and RT'd people correcting her.

I think her knee jerk reaction to Russian propaganda means proceed with caution regarding her, as she's easily convinced into this stuff, but I wanted to show where things went after.
