Spoke out on trans issues in powerful message


She just posted this on instagram:

"It’s appalling to me that a post about National Women’s Day by Dylan Mulvaney and me would be met with such vitriol and hatred. When I see a newspaper reporting on hatred but calling it “backlash” I feel it is important to clarify that hatred is hatred, and this kind of hatred is violence. “Backlash” would imply that people who love or respect Dylan and me didn’t like something we did. This is not backlash. This is hatred.

But it is not surprising given the immense work that it’s obvious we still have to do as a society to make room for transgender lives to be cherished and upheld by all of us. I feel very protective in this moment, not only of Dylan, but of the trans community who continues to lead the way with their endless grace and inspiration in the face of constant degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and mental violence. I certainly do not speak for this community, but I have something to say. I hope all women will come together to honor us ALL for International Women’s Day, and may we do that always until THE DAY that all women are celebrated equally. That all people are celebrated equally. A day where people of all gender identities are celebrated on whichever holiday speaks to them. Because people of all gender identities and races deserve peace and dignity.

May we all come together and be loving, accepting, warm, welcoming. May we all stand and honor the complexity and challenge of trans life—that we do not know, but can seek to understand and have compassion for. I love people too much to allow hatred to be referred to as “backlash.” People deserve better.

I can only hope that this steam of hatred and bigotry vomiting forth on moviechat , is just a small minority of right wing nazi asswipes who have gathered here on this site because other sites wont tolerate them , and not a reflection of societys opinions as a whole.

People are turning a blind eye to that which will not be said because it does not exist.

Welcome to the future.

Ok, 1st of all sweetheart, no one is projecting hatred toward the guy, what I am seeing is an individual who is mentally unstable and it's true.. People like Mulvaney have issues, deep mental issues and he needs to seek therapy.. I can't help but to think all this Transgender bullshit we're seeing is this idea to do away with real men in the world in favor of soy boys

Mulvaney is not a woman, so why the hell is he a spokesman for Women's Day? He's just a dude who prances around in womanface like a cross between Pee Wee Herman and Audrey Hepburn. Mental illness is nothing to be celebrated. That's not hatred, just a statement of reality. I find him irritating and pathetic, but I don't hate him.

Disagreeing with something isn’t hatred. And words are not violence. Violence is violence. Please stop it with that shit. It’s getting so old.

I agree with treating people with dignity. But Dylan is not a woman. It’s international women’s day. It’s for actual women. I understand that logic is dead and facts are meaningless in today’s society, but my god people, get a grip on your feelings and realize that not everyone has to agree with you, believe what you want them to believe, or take everything you say as gospel. This is not fairytale land.
