i dont think i can overstate that it was really, intensely shocking when she dropped that bombshell - i think its easy to assume she must’ve given off more signs but it was so incredibly out of nowhere for a lot of us… my gf was able to point at a few troubling conversations she’d had w/ kitty’s partner in the months beforehand but it was a side i’d never imagined existing in either of them. it’s clearly something that had been stewing in her for ages and that she’d privately been bouncing back-and-forth with other “gender critical” TERFs in her own time, and when it finally came dumping out here on her public blog it was… like… so appalling for everyone who thought we knew her. ESPECIALLY because she was considered a staunch advocate for intersex and trans rights before this (how someone can simultaneously have identified herself as intersex and ended up putting so much fucking weight and significance on birth assignment, i have literally no clue at all. proves it takes all types, i guess) i consider myself to have gotten out easy b/c my primary emotion in response to this is Big Anger. i have a lot of friends who were made very depressed by it, especially when they’d confided in her about their own gender feelings and now realized she was patronizing them out of a place of wanting them to not be trans at all, and even a few friends who tried really, really hard to get her to see sense in the months following her explosive “coming out” as an evil human being and were rewarded for it by tons of harassment and vitriol. its just all quite bad -- source link
