Anne Hathaway trans

I just took a look at AH Instagram. It doesn't look like she's atoning for anything. She has hosted a week long "take over" of her insta page by a black a tivist. She chose a black trans activist. A number of white people with large social media platforms have done the same.

The trans woman actually says in one of her posts - "I don't care if you think I'm a woman" and (paraphrasing) I only care if you are celebrating my body being met with violence and then complaining when that violence lands at your door.

Part of the problem of some GC feminists finding common cause with fundamentalist Christians and other hard right etc is that there are some in that "broad church" who really do want to erase trans women. Whereas I "just" want them to embrace their transness and protect their rights as TRANS rights (not women's rights).

The reaction to this takeover on this thread shows a certain intolerance I feel - seeking evidence for thought crimes as if the only reason AH would lend her platform to a trans woman is because she has to atone. Not because she may feel that trans people in the states are vulnerable under the Trump presidency.

That Netflix one is just appalling! Why wasn’t more known about this? I really don’t want to have to cancel my Netflix account as well as everything else I’m having to boycott.

Bloody hell do these people think their opinions are remotely important?

AH said something (no doubt massively profound) and forgot to tag someone even more important than her in it? And now more important person has the hump and AH must fall upon her sword in repentance?

WTF is all this shit? I'm going back to re-runs of Hart to Hart to admire Stefanie's lovely hair. As you were

Yes the Netflix one is shocking.

That was the one, nauticant - Neville Southall and the adult babies. You couldn't make that level of stupid up.

Wasn't there a former footballer (goalkeeper IIRC) who turned his twitter feed over to some keyboard warrior for a week as some sort of overly dramatic virtue signalling act of solidarity

Well there was this:

So far, so random. Astonishingly, the other day Netflix lent their twitter account to someone worse:

So this was the 'crime' for which she had to 'atone'? Sharing a video on support of someone who then demanded serial apologies?

Way to make celebrities wary of supporting anyone at all!

Wasn't there a former footballer (goalkeeper IIRC) who turned his twitter feed over to some keyboard warrior for a week as some sort of overly dramatic virtue signalling act of solidarity - then the keyboard warrior posted all sorts of truly awful shit on it (started from defund the police and went steadily crazier from there... the guy turned out to be a full-on anarchist nut-job).

This may be her terrible crime, not tagging people twitter.com/iwishyouwouid/status/1275457841206226945?s=21

The BTLM stuff is simply because TRAs are very good at latching on to whatever cause is in the news - a bit like the SWP used to be: turn up with placards, hand them out, make sure you’re near the front when the cameras are around.

BLM is in the news at the moment, so the TRAs are there, telling everyone they’re racist if they don’t get on board, just as they insisted on being part of LGB. If disability, say, or single parents,, become the next newsworthy cause, you can guarantee that the TRAs will be there, telling everyone that trans disability should be centred, or that trans single parents need to be pushed forward.

Thanking someone for letting her ‘get it right’? Sounds like something a schoolgirl would say to the cool kid.

She is thanking someone called misslang for giving her a chance to get it right ?

Anyone else completely get the wrong end of the stick here, thinking of the wrong Lang?!

I don't get the 'Black Trans Lives Matter'. Of course they do, or is the statement ''Black Lives Matter'' not inclusive enough? Black trans people are black people, no?

Yes, I have thought it is odd how 'Black Trans Lives Matter' has gained almost as much traction as 'Black Lives Matter'? But I have not seen similar for 'Black Gay Lives Matter' or 'Black Disabled Lives Matter' or any of subset of black people?

I have no idea what is going on - someone has commented asking where the video of her 'atoning' and explaining the Insta takeover has disappeared to, so obviously she has said something that has pissed off Aaryn Lang and this is her penance. But no idea what.

To be honest, I have always thought that AH was pretentious and up her own arse ever since that post Oscars speech when she won for Les Mis. Especially when it was compared to Jennifer Lawrence's the same night!

Her Instagram isn't doing much to change my mind - it's all a bit cryptic isn't it? Like what she is on about is something that only the truly enlightened would understand? I don't know, maybe it's because I have never looked at her Insta before, but at least if you went straight to say Munroe Bergdorf's account, you would know exactly what Munroe stood for and was campaigning for straight away?

I don't get the 'Black Trans Lives Matter'. Of course they do, or is the statement ''Black Lives Matter'' not inclusive enough? Black trans people are black people, no?

I have no idea what she's apologising for. I had a quick look over on Instagram to see after I read the first few posts of this thread and I'm none the wiser.
