To be disappointed Dolly Parton supported biological men using women's toilets?

I really liked her music and she seemed like a nice person: her Imagination Library came to my borough recently. I was very sad to hear she'd died.
But was very disappointed to read this. The statements she made about trans people deserving respect, no issue with those.
But minimising the reasonable concerns women have about being forced to let men in their toilets was wrong.
I'm not saying she should have spoken out for GC issues. It might have been best just not to comment.
Parton had connections with drag queens and I wonder if that's the lens she saw transwomen through : not an excuse but might partially explain.

Excuse me?

Genderists always think it’s a reference to Atwood. It isn’t.

Had a bet on by myself that the regulars would be all here by the end all talking to themselves and that Erish would come in for the last few pages.

she paid for gender affirming care for an employee of hers, she wrote the music for a film about a transwoman, she opposed the bill regarding trans people and toilets. Thats supporting trans people. People who don’t think transwomen are women rarely spend that much time supporting them.

She did so much to support women
so what if she supported other people, including the madness of it , MEN 😵🥂
I have never heard a single celebrity or person who met her say a bad word about Dolly, did you come from the sort of background she did? you should be ashamed of your words

I have no doubt the haters and TRAs have already harvested this thread for all it's worth.🫤
