We Need To Talk About Jessica Yaniv (spoiler - they don’t)
When stories like this break, trans folks aren't given a seat at the table, but we’re left bearing the responsibility of being spokespeople nonetheless.
(spoiler it’s the fault of GC cos we’re cis in’it)
And yet, to date, the media outlets covering her story have tended to be far-right-leaning places. It wasn’t until Yaniv had her most recent tribunal hearings that more mainstream media outlets picked up her story at all. By then, the conversation around her was already dominated by sources that are known to be transphobic, or the slightly less-menacing-sounding “gender-critical.” They have warned us enough about people like her, they say, and now she’s been given form. Like Bloody Mary of the transgender set.
(told you, cis terf scum amirite)
Many of the allegations against her are, at this stage, unsubstantiated.
(Oh mm hmm fake news)
Someone like Yaniv is acting on her own, regardless of the fact that she paints herself as an activist. She does not speak for the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
(not true trans - but also this never happens)
We need to talk about Jessica Yaniv because she has forced us to. We just need the right voices to be heard in the conversation.
(except all that’s been said is to ‘blame’ lies with terf / cis, and muh oppression).
27th Jess - tick tock. I’m sure Cousineau is waiting
