Dolly Parton apparently misguided on trans issues

I saw the AIBU thread today, and I was uncomfortable with criticism so soon after her passing. However, I'm now wondering if Dolly Parton did actually support the things articles have claimed, or if she was trying to be diplomatic and her words were quoted as supporting TRA aims. I hope the former.

You seem to talking on behalf of entire groups here. Do you have a source for the message on a toilet seat incident? That seems an odd thing to do, given there would be no way for any future users of the toilet to know they were receiving a message from a transwoman. Bizarre.

Respectfully, I don’t think being in the ladies’ toilets is the only point for transwomen. Maybe some, not all.

It was on twitter, a trans activist reply to India Willoughby a year ago. I doubt I could find it now but I will have a look.

I don't think there has yet been a publicised example of a man wielding an axe when he demanded admission with menaces to the ladies' lavatory, but there was one with a sword at one point claiming that he couldn't see why anyone would object to his brandishing it about in the loos. Presumably all he wanted was a piss, he wasn't a character in search of a piste. Maybe he was pissed.

He wasn’t demanding admission to a women’s space at the time, but Evie Amati attacked three people with an axe, and was then placed in a women’s prison:

And that individual was detransitioning after sentence and getting put into an all-woman prison.

Served eight of the nine year sentence and is now answering to Karl Amati, apparently.

As a very rich woman with massive security she could afford to not worry about the reality of men in a public loo or in women's groups.

Same reason very few men think it's a problem. Because its not a problem for them.

And he claimed the reason for his axe attack was "complications from genital mutilation surgery he underwent in Thailand in a futile bid to change sexes, depression, drug use and a failed Tinder date" and accused the girl of driving him to it in a series of deranged texts.

This was reported in The Noticer, which is mostly Australian news as far as I can make out.

I have managed to bore the other thread on AIBU and its full and closed.

As usual, not a lot can be said when I present actual facts. Again. And again. At length.

All that could be said is that I was boring. I agree. (I can do scary, revolting, funny and politically sensitive toilet stories as well but it wasn’t the thread to).

Toilets should be boring.
