    I know I was "right" in my critiques of Milo and the way "centrists" have gotten in this situation. I take no joy in being right tbh

        I cannot find comfort in being right when lives are at stake. Imagine being right about suffering and harm. You want to be wrong

        BUT and this is where I am not going to make friends: there is another aspect that is in the Buzzfeed papers: white feminist complicity

        So while Buzzfeed papers are valuable, they only tell half of the story. They don't tell about silent complicity and advocating exclusion

        A loud and prominent version of white feminism helped advance these ideologies by systematically attacking trans people as well

        These things ARE connected and while now we have a few names to point to thanks to what Buzzfeed uncovered, it's not the whole story

        I am not "right" because I have some crystall ball. The key is: always look at who is being attacked and who is doing the attacking

        But don't look at the obvious places because those are just like the pus in an open wound. Look at what white "progressives" help normalize

        Let me put it this way: Breitbart pushing neo nazism is expected. A white feminist on bus tour having drinks w/ Milo is where the story is

        many people still remember those days... the attacks didn't come from the right wing. They came from white feminists and their allies!

        So again, I insist, the Buzzfeed investigation IS valuable because it puts these things in black and white but for some of us it is not new

        everyone knows I wrote the essay "My feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit", right. It wasn't a slogan. it was a title!

        ppl were already using the title as a slogan. So, one day I found a group of TERFs using a similar wording to promote an exclusionary event

        I said NO. I do not give you permission to use my words if you are going to exclude trans women from an event. I expressly forbid this
