Oh lord, it was bad. You may say I only have myself to blame, and you would be right, and I knew the episode would annoy me, but I went in anyway!
Jesus, the fawning. I do like Brene Brown a lot, but she is a terrible fawner and boy did she turn it up to 11 with Laverne! So proud to refer to Laverne as 'my friend', praising Laverne's 'wonderful intellect' 
, basically on her knees in awe the whole way through
There was lots of tearful listing of names of transwomen who have been murdered - fine, those are sickening crimes and its perfectly legitimate to mention them . JK Rowling got mentioned a couple of times with a sigh and you could hear the eye roll- none of the content of what Rowling actually wrote or tweeted of course, just 'the JK Rowling issue' like shes the antichrist or something
Then the issue of women wanting to keep toilets etc as single sex spaces. Brene just DOESN'T GET IT and TWAW and she 'identifies as a woman' (no Brene, you just ARE a woman) and women need to remember that 'fear is not real, it's just a feeling'. Nice 🙄 then Laverne adds that 'ciswomen' need to carry out some 'self reflection' about why we're so het up about TW popping into women's toilets for a little old wee or whatever. Like, how does it affect us, really? And 'where is the love?'
we're all supposed to be rightly horrified by violence against transwomen, but heaven forbid that we acknowledge the violence and threats faced by women every single day
So yeah, it was profound. Shame on Brene Brown for enabling this shit - shes a bright, well educated women who is pretending to be stupid. Cox came across as arrogant and entitled, disguised with fake-bewildered, breathy delivery, and having zero empathy or understanding for women, and zero interest in engaging with women's very real concerns. And not enormously stable emotionally
I listened so you dont have to 
just felt the need to get it off my chest!
