Oh pipe down, I read the entire thing when it was recent and in no way does she want what you claim. She has an open letter on her own website outlining her views.
Over the course of the years since this happened it has grown, morphed and people are now probably also saying she would be the one herding the trans people into the gas Chambers.
This right here is why Lemmy is often a shitshow. You're absolutely right, but since you're going against the hive mind it's nothing but downvotes. No one's even bothered to reply because there's nothing to argue against in good faith. Just angry downvotes because your facts are getting in the way of fake outrage.
Nah. Both of you just haven't kept up with her history of equating trans women with sexual predators and trans men with poor brainwashed little girls, some of which was hinted, if disguised in polite words, in the article where she talked about the situation and defended how she totally didn't mean any harm to anybody.
Did you see when she said she'd march with trans people if they truly were persecuted? Their rights have been challenged and undermined many times since, and she didn't show any sign of that.
Because, you know, sometimes people aren't completely honest and taking them at their word is not the ultimate measure of their characters.
So don't confuse disagreeing with people here and getting downvoted with being the one clear-minded contrarian. However much internet bandwagons are a thing, you won't get the clear picture unless you go look into it. Sometimes you might get that reaction because you are wrong and that's it.
It's OK, people can read the content themselves. I have a lot of (maybe misplaced) confidence in most people.
And I personally don't see a lot of hivemind but plurality of opinion luckily. The angry downvotes without response is usually telling enough, although someone did reply to tell me to "fuck off" this time.
Seriously! If I say something stupid, others are supposed to show up and educate me on why what I said is stupid! That is how public discourse is supposed to works!
Wait, why aren't the people tired of my ignorant shit jumping to help me learn? Oh I know, that means I'm actually super smart, totally correct and fully informed. Everyone else is just being stupid and mean to me for no valid reason.
Honest feedback (for honest ppl): there are ways to ask people what they think so they'll be inclined to reply earnestly. Starting with "pipe down" ain't it... ya fuckin dingus. lol
