Do your kids love James Charles? He's currently under twitter-attack!

Thought it might be useful to separate this from the John Boyne thread right now, as it's a slightly different subject.

James - he's challenging the stereotypes of who loves make-up, who does what. Many tweens and teenagers will be following James.

James loves make-up, crashing stereotypes of what 'men' are.

James discusses in his latest youtube video on who he thinks are hot.

He's brave enough to discuss his sexuality on that video, and the old-fashioned Kinsey scale.

His friend:
So you're not full gay?

James:
There have been girls I've thought are truly beautiful, and also trans guys I've been really into or a moment in time

This has led to James being villified:
twitter.com/jamescharles/status/1116816911763775488

He also refers to himself later on in the video as: I still idenitfy myself as a guy, but I still call myself as a woman, as a joke. (Thanks James, not)

As you'll see from the Twitter thread linked above, James's comments in his YouTube video have caused ructions. Even James should never, ever, go there to suggest sex is a thing!

I'm noticing a gradual gay pressure unroll. It's gonna boil over soon.

Owen Jones got asked about this very thing a long time ago. He was very offended.

Oh, just a moment? Hang on a sec... Nope, dick still not doing it for me.

Still, the more of this homophobic bullshit that gets aimed at gay men the quicker the T will get the boot. Being the nice kind sharing type of dyke I am, I’m more than happy for the gays to share in the joyous bounty of TRA bullying. Nobody listens to lesbians so let’s give the gay men a go, let’s see how they take to being commanded to eat pussy.

Oh what an exhausting job it must be trying to placate the TRAs, like tiptoeing through a minefield that hasn’t been laid yet. One would hope that people get fed up of walking on eggshells. I imagine some very woke vocal allies will start to go quiet right abooooouuuuuut....... now.

This person echoes RM saying lesbians can get used to penis.

As a trans man, I see both sides of it. Being attracted to a trans man does not make someone "less gay." But genital preferences are also real, and if you're accustomed to one ideal version of what a man is, it can take a moment to adjust that image.

www.gaystarnews.com/article/james-charles-apologizes-implying-trans-men/#gs.62lvdo

From that article:- another person tweeted: ‘James Charles if your (sic) a attracted to a man who has a vagina, it doesn’t make you straight.’

Some people thanked Charles for his apology, but for others, the apology didn’t go far enough.

One person replied: ‘you said that being attracted to trans men makes you less gay. this tweet does NOT cover what you said even slightly. you fully implied that trans men are not real men. you can spout “you’re valid” bullshit all you want but that is NOT why people are mad at you.’

Another tweeted: ‘he clearly said something that invalidated a whole group of people! especially as an lgbt influencer with such a large following, he needs to fo (sic) better! this apology is not enough.’

AKA: James, despite being part of the LGBT, he's not doing enough in the T in the LGBt - so the message from the 'T' seems to be:

DO MORE, BE MORE, NOTHING ELSE IS ENOUGH. WHAT'S ENOUGH, YOU ASK?

MAYBE YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT THE 'DO MORE' IS?

IT'S EVERYTHING WE SAY, EVERYTHING WE DECIDE. AND IF WE HAVEN'T DECIDED IT ALREADY, IT'LL BE WHAT WE DECIDE TOMORROW!

The sad thing, Barbie is that James is breaking down stereotypes of what 'makes a woman, what makes a man'.

And yet, the minute he talks about sexuality, and attraction, he's attacked.

Though the glittering rainbow of LGBTQIA responders won't be able to see this, through their lens of 'anyone is who they say they are, despite their genitals', his attackers are displaying accidental homophobia.

The 'T' has eaten the LGB.

Hilarious joke Hmm

This is just further evidence of how ridiculous this whole thing is and how eventually the woke will end up eating themselves.
