Watched this last nightā¦ it included some unfortunate and unnecessary transphobia, I thoughtā¦ one of the pyschos torturing the main characters was named āCandy Truck Womanā, but was a man in a dressā¦
Also, itās full of violence against women, so not sure Iād really recommend it just for that aloneā¦

Did they have to make room for the serial killers convention from Sandman?
So he was looking out for his residuals?
Voldemort defends Petunia Dursley
And that article is written by a known TER which explains why it is so awful and one sided.
Ugh. Thatās not good.
I saw an average person interviewed on a (London) street say something like, āHeās not the worst conservativeāheās a step upābut make no mistake, heās still a Tory.ā
Pie the TERs!!!
Itās amazing what you find in the mainstream press outside the UK.
As Christa Peterson, a graduate student of Philosophy who is often critical of transphobia in academia and media has pointed out, Jennifer Bilek isnāt screaming into the void; her ideas about gender have found a warm reception on the right and among so-called āgender-critical feministsā.
Anti-transgender groups like the LGB Alliance and Womenās Declaration International have praised Bilekās theories and shared them widely. In 2021, Kara Dansky appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight as the spokeswoman for Womenās Declaration International and urged viewers to visit Bilekās blog.
The Tablet article is already making the rounds on the far-right.
āInstead, Bilek, who lionizes figures like Aileen Wuornos and Valerie Solanas, derides transgender, genderqueer, and nonbinary identities as āSynthetic Sex Identitiesā, a phrase she apparently made up.ā
Itās nice to see some mainstream places picking up on this story that the community has been reporting for ages. Weāve been aware of this guy for at least 10 years.
āExpertā formerly slated to testify in favor of Florida ban on trans health care once called to include a āPā for pedophiles in LGBTQ
In one tweet, James Cantor claimed āpedophilia is NOT inherently wrong or harmfulā
Didnāt Valerie Solanas spend time with Candy Darling? Or was that a fiction made up for that movie?
As far as I know, yes. I think she was more ambivalent about trans people than cis men for sure. But I think she wasnāt at all trans positive. But I really donāt know.
I read her manifesto a long time ago - I think she would have allowed trans women & drag queens to live.
