      Let’s dig into “gravitas,” bc it’s an ambiguous word, selectively applied. Ever wonder how expression that’s feminine, working-class, queer, or poc isn’t deemed as having “gravitas,” but talking like an Aaron Sorkin character does? 🤔 Men have “gravitas,” women get “likeable.”https://twitter.com/cmclymer/status/1087073586664407040 …

      Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez added,

      Charlotte Clymer  🏳️‍⚧️ 🇺🇦Verified account @cmclymer
      And I think there's something deeper here: Sorkin really just wants gravitas, and he's okay if the gravitas in our elected officials comes with troubling compromise. We like @AOC and @Ilhan and these incoming Members because they prioritize substance over gravitas (appearance).

      This has deeper consequences, bc as we’ve seen w/ narratives advanced by the right, they have trouble recognizing intelligence in people they disagree with. This is what bias looks like: for some ppl, small mistakes mean they’re not “serious,” yet others are forgiven for worse.

      If you notice, on the right they’ll flatly call people blanket terms, and even make things up. And I don’t mean trolls - I mean their biggest commentators + TV figures. This is different from criticizing a specific take you disagree with, or pointing out discriminatory patterns.

      Just look at the marginal tax rate discussion. The right’s biggest strategy against my marginal tax rate proposal isn’t to argue against it - it‘s to lie about it, and imply that it’s a tax on all income, bc that helps their characterization of me as a “crazy/dumb“ Latina woman.

      This stuff infects some Democrats, too. Because in our overall discourse, nonviolent protest somehow gets deemed as not “civil,” yet stripping women’s rights or incarcerating children on the border doesn’t receive the same characterization. What’s up with that?🕵🏽‍♀️

      Lastly, we wouldn’t need to talk about bathrooms at all if we acted like adults, washed our hands + minded our own business instead of trying to clock others. Going by track record, I’d feel safer in a bathroom w/ a trans woman than a powerful male executive any day of the week.

          YES! Thank you @AOC! Over the past few years @Mermaids_Gender has been subject to relentless harassment by the right wing press in the UK, as has the entire trans community. Your support will make a difference, and provide a boost to so many of the families Mermaids are helping.

          LGBTQIA+ people using the word queer to refer to themselves are working on reclaiming a word that has been used to harm us! :)

          If you were a parent and you had a 8 year old little girl are you saying you would not be alarmed if a adult male went into the same restroom with your little girl even the man was still a man with women's clothes on . You would not try to protect your daughter ??

          Whatever her views are, I'm sure they will be based on Mermaids views instead of reliable sources!
