I figured there'd be at least one TERF who couldn't resist fully crossing the line and actively defending calling the cops on Black men And of course it's one of the co-founders of Spinster https://twitter.com/mkay_fain/status/1266934776734322693 …

Anyway of course it's problematic to list all this respectability politics shit about Christian Cooper - his Harvard degree, his reputation as a writer, editor and birdwatcher, his affable demeanor - as opposed to the one relevant fact which is that he did nothing threatening

But if you don't see WHY people feel the need to shore up that simple fact with respectability politics then you're probably part of the reason why they feel the need to do it

(The fact that she can look at the video of the confrontation between Amy Cooper and Christian Cooper and conclude that Amy Cooper was genuinely the victim in the situation means I absolutely do not believe for one second they were actually in danger from their neighbors)

the other thing that gets me is she is just plainly lying about the gender dynamics in the video--several male cops are getting dragged and they're getting dragged by men and women but then ideology has a way of overriding reality

The female cop in the video is HOLDING ONTO ANOTHER PERSON that she was trying to arrest and detain She is being "dragged" because SHE is the one refusing to let go
