to think a 'women's march' shouldn't be calling out a rape victim for standing up to a heckler

Rose McGowan busted Harvey Weinstein, for being a serial molester and rapist.

And she wrote a book, which she was launching.

A transperson, Andi Dier, heckled the launch saying that she should do something for transpeople because transpeople are being killed etc.

Rose said 'we're the same we're both victims, we're sisters, but shut up this is my book launch'

It turned out this was not exactly true. Andi Dier is a sexual predator who laughs at rape victims, writing on his Tumblr "It's not rape if she's smiling through the tears". Dozens of young women have reported being molested by him or sexually propositioned between the ages of 11 and 14. He alluded himself on his ask.fm (now deleted) to committing statutory rape, saying his girlfriend was 13 when he was 18, and that statutory rape shouldn't be a crime.

He did make a report of being harassed by a man 'in the Bronx' to the New York police, but the report was not considered credible even by the police (despite getting far more coverage than an incident involving a non-transwoman would get). www.gaystarnews.com/article/man-stalked-transgender-couple-baseball-bat-bronx-still-large/

Anyway, so on the one hand you have a woman trying to talk about her experiences of being a survivor of sexual assault, and on the other you have a man who sexually assaulted young girls and turned up to her event to tell her to talk about him.

AIBU to think that a 'women's march' should not respond by taking the side of the male sexual predator over the victim ?

For her part Rose McGowan has said 'I don't need this shit' and has cancelled her future speaking arrangements.
