Nope. Goodbye.
wow what a great argument
I fully support calling him out for the slur. But no, that literally is what he is doing- he genuinely is an ally & you're pushing him away
He used up his free-pass on this two years ago. He can choose to correct himself when he pleases. Until then, he's not a trans ally.
Tough w/character limit - I think with him the dress-specific criticism is what I found misplaced because JB is a man who wears dresses.
He's as welcome to wear dresses as Rachel Dolezal is to darken her skin. Using that aesthetic for spectacle and recognition is not okay.
Plus, the fact that he wears them everyday reduces the already shallow show of support that is "I'mma put on a dress to support women."
To be honest (as an outsider but who supports your cause). This tearing down of people for humor (even if not PC) doesn't increase support.
Doesn't decrease it either - these kinds of people are faux-supporters, and rejecting them is not a detriment to the real cause.
I googled for slurs in his appearance & only found the 2015 incident. Did he use slurs this time, too?
