"The GLAAD Accountability Project catalogs anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and discriminatory actions of politicians, commentators, organization heads, religious leaders, and legal figures, who have used their platforms, influence and power to spread misinformation and harm LGBTQ people."

Obviously they've included GC people on this list and taken their words out of context, for example heres JK Rowlings page www.glaad.org/gap/jk-rowling
archive.is/wip/KPKtL

They've taken her words out of context and haven't linked to the orginal sources like her letter about DV. Also whats the point in reading someones book when you can just quote from an incorrect telegraph article about it.

It's the new McCarthyism.

@NotTerfNorCis

Looking at their page on JK, there's absolutely nothing wrong with what she said. Certainly nothing hateful or 'phobic'.
Yes - this isn't about Jo's quotes being 'out of context'. Even out of context her quotes make sense, are reasonable, are compassionate and are not transphobic.

Germaine Greer is on there too.

I was listening to Jesse Singal on Blocked and Reported speaking about this. He's on the list too because of his journalism. It is sinister and dangerous.

A quick Google search shows that people can report grom Twitter so basically anyone who is persona non grata can end up on the list. I wonder ig LOJ will end up on there for his recent nasty lesphobic tweets?

I think we should all offer our names up. Wonder how that will play out Grin

fucking hell.

I assume that the natural evolution of this is to get them in front of some sort of committee, and get some incisive questioning going, like, oooh, I dunno, “are you now, or have you ever been a member of A woman’s place”?

I’m sure there’s some sort of model or template they could use, if I could just put my finger on where I’d seen it before...

"your name is going down in the book"

perhaps the next stage is to brand people with a letter

MichelleofzeResistance · 06/04/2021 12:01

Will also be interesting to see how much of this 'anti' stuff could simply be recategorised as 'recognising the needs of female people'.

MichelleofzeResistance · 06/04/2021 12:00

Well that's not sinister and reminiscent of other 'lists' at all, is it? Confused Increasingly strange behaviour.

GoingThruTheMotions · 06/04/2021 11:58

Well I expect this to be trotted out as 'evidence' at some point. Nothing new or remotely transphobic though so good to know.

The hit list is back!
