#you aren’t trans. you aren’t an abuse survivor (which is a big part of ol jo's argument from what my mother learned).

I love having a half hour long debate with my mother about how bad jk r*wl*ng is bc she decided to listen to that witch trials podcast! (lying lying lying I hated it it sucked I hate debating her)

#she’s like ‘ohhhhh but I get where she’s coming from!’ and I’m like ‘ohhhhhh but she’s actively harming trans people in the uk’ #and then having to explain how her shit does in fact actively harm trans people. how it isnt just like. her being mean and unaccepting #like I think I managed to sway her a bit bc I pulled out receipts that they conveniently didn’t mention in the podcast #she was like ‘oh they really looked at both sides!’ and I was just sitting there like. if I mention her crossdressing serial killer book #then she is going explode I think #but god nothing like trying to explain transm//dicalism to her as well as deconstructing all of joanne's strawmen #but I’m trying to explain the climate for trans people in the uk and she’s like ‘yeah but’ and I’m like no! no buts! she is costing lives! #she is not a good person and it’s not hard to stop giving a shit about her mom! you have no stake in this. no horse in this race! #you aren’t trans. you aren’t an abuse survivor (which is a big part of ol jo's argument from what my mother learned). #and you don’t actually care that much about her work bc you’re not eleven! #it’s so easy to listen to the overwhelming number of trans voices saying that she is bad and just letting her go #but no we had to debate about it
