What is the connection to identity politics here? I am missing it.
- HideousKojima 6y agoThe person in question is trans
- rogermecizki 6y agothe person in question is trans, consequently, criticism of them is weaponised through the discourse as transphobic
- moistbar 6y agoIronically, with the blanket ban they've enacted, nobody can come to her defense either.
- Closi 6y agoBecause after she was thrown out of the green party she said ‘transphobia’ was the reason she was being thrown out, presumably in an attempt to deflect from the real reason. The real reason was that she recruited her father as a campaign manager while knowing he was being charged for sexual offences, and he would eventually be convicted of raping and torturing a 10 year old child which was held captive in the attic of the house she was living in at the time.
- thesis 6y agoMy jaw just hit the floor. Wow. Reddit should be ashamed if this is true.
- pas 6y agoThat's true, but what does this have to do with Reddit?
- smegger001 6y agothey hired her and are now trying to shield her from criticism by banning discussion or mentions of her
- Quillbert182 6y agorumor is reddit hired her
- Shivetya 6y agoSo I would love to know how Reddit's owner's justify her hiring.
- pas 6y agoProbably the didn't do a background check?
- Steko 6y agoSo where’s the outrage? Did people believe her? It doesn’t seem like it. Is this new? Didn’t OJ get off partly by painting the police as racist (accurately or not)? But still didn’t work with the public that believes he’s guilty? Isn’t there a long history of insulting your oponents using all sorts of reasons? Is the fact that guilty/bad people have always tried to avoid and shift blame mean the shields they try and use are bad things? It seems like this is just another attempt to hijack the discussion with conservative outrage hobby horses.
