Can someone please tell me what is going on?

All over her Instagram it is flooded with trans stuff (fine) but it seems to be reaction to some sort of apology to the trans community?

Can anyone tell me what has happened?

I can't make head or tail of it?

I figure someone on this board will be able to explain it to me Smile

Aaryn Lang, the Misslang mentioned on Instagram, seems like a pleasant character Hmm. Imagine the backlash if someone posted a picture wearing something proclaiming that they hate trans people. Double standards abound.

There was one post from the clang person that said

"It is ok to be part of the problem, it is not ok to stay part of the problem"

I am assuming that was directed towards Anne Hathaway.

I still can't work it out.

I think you might be right.

So you can't support black women giving birth - as it isn't seen as inclusive to trans community?

It is just so ridiculous - women are being erased.

black doula fighting to improve maternity services for WOC

Now that is indeed a good thing - maternity outcomes for black women are atrocious when compared to those for white women (both in the US and here) - think of Serena Williams' experiences.

But I wonder if this is what's caused her the problems? Maybe she inadvertently said "pregnant women" instead of "birthing people" and what we're seeing now is the abject grovelling of someone who has yet to realise she's caught in a purity spiral and now she's said one thing a tiny bit off message, there will be no coming back, and she will be hounded to the gates of hell and beyond.

I think it's just her way of supporting BLM. Narrowing in on Black Trans Lives Matter.

I thought her posts about the WOC doctors and the black doula fighting to improve maternity services for WOC were far more interesting and helpful.

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

I just can't work out all this stuff.

What has she done "wrong"?

It just reads like some serious propaganda / there was a takeover of her account which I realise lots of people have allowed as part of BLM .. but can someone explain the trans aspect?

I don't think Shakespeare's wife is on insta Grin

Are they talking about the actress or Shakespeare’s wife (now that would be a tale to tell)?
