To think we should all be paying attention to the facts about Andi Dier (Rose McGowan)?

Yes, another trans thread so I know many of you will automatically say I am BU. But this is important, I promise.

Rose McGowan was involved in what can be politely called a "verbal exchange" with an aggressive and antagonistic transwoman at a book signing last week. Rose retaliated verbally and the person was removed from the building. You can watch it here:

Or just google/YouTube "Rose McGowan Barnes and Noble".

The person shouting at Rose (while she was reading from her new book about the rape and abuse she has experienced at the hands of male predators) has been identified as Andi Dier, a trans activist and campaigner. Rose is suffering a huge backlash; various venues have publicly stated that they are pulling bookings for future book tour dates citing her transphobic views. Consequently, she has now cancelled all remaining public appearances.

It has come to light that Andi Dier has a history of sexual assault with minors; young women have come forward saying Andi assaulted them at the age of 12/13/14. In addition, this Twitter thread details some of the paedophilic, fetishistic pornographic content Andi has posted online.

Warning ⚠️
This twitter link contains pornographic content that may be very upsetting to some. It is most certainly NSFW!!

AIBU to think that all kinds of people, everywhere, should be alarmed that such a vile, abusive person has been able to get away with publicly attacking Rose, who precipitated the downfall of Weinstein and who was the first spark of the #MeToo movement?

Excellent articles

Apologies if this has been posted. Not familiar with the site but I believe it's a left wing one so a bit out of step with the normal reporting.

YANBU at all

What a good article.

Towards the end, I had a sudden realisation that Andi has been doing (according to these reports) a similar thing to what Saville or abusive priests did. Hiding in plain sight. Pretending to be a young girl at the mall, being an advocate for feminism and LGBT and so hiding even further by being thought of as someone who is to be admired and followed. "... I thought she must have changed." While at the same time harbouring an inappropriate interest in young girls. (Sorry if that's obvious, the penny just dropped as to the type of person who does this.) clearly a women is of viewed as less of a predator, as a priest or famous charity celeb. Very manipulative.

She has now blamed her 'transphobia' on being an 'older woman'.
