Yes, because it is about consent and ignoring the refusal thereof.

OP said camera lenses can be male-gazey. This is a perfect application of OP’s statement. If going into someone’s face to shoot them against their will isn’t male-gazey-rapeish, I don’t know what is.

He said “we paid for you” and also didn’t respond to her “stop” and “no.” Maybe it sounds very radical fem but camera lens can be male gazey and with the non consent here this feels kind of rapey (no, that doesn’t undermine actual rape...this is a different degree but in my understanding there is a spectrum of…

Yeah, that’s crazy. But I honestly think getting punched in the face just for looking like Shia fulfills the all the trolling Shia himself has pulled on the world. HENCE the anger/snark at him calling up the poor guy who is merely a victim of Shia making his meta-personality troll the world.

I don’t deny that there’s an overwhelming and appalling level of ambivalence towards the violence and issues faced by trans women of color, but the silence here could also be in part because Janet is such an unlikable person, so regardless of the cause she’s speaking about or whatever salient point she’s making,…

Yes the article’s name is disturbingly accurate. I also thought that at least the assaulter thought he was him.

I’m kind of at a loss for words. The only remark that came to mind is it’s sad as fucking hell, and I kinda thought that was implied.

What, and address intersectional feminism and admit that people, including white women feminists, really only care to root for the cis white girls? Certainly not Jez.

The puncher probably knows Shia is an actual cannibal so he has to go for the next best thing.

She is a gift, seriously. A brilliant, badass gift.

Her perfect victim comments were spot on as well. Holtzclaw was able to operate so long and so many victims because of this and that is not an anomaly.

Every time I listen to Mock speak, I end up searching for a non-sarcastic, genuine applause gif and am at a loss.

This. This is a voice we need to hear more of.

Thank you for writing this article, and bringing attention to this event and this issue. The lack of comments on this post is startling.

not only living black and trans and feminine, but also OUT and as an activist when it would be easy for her to take advantage of passing privilege and sit the tough stuff out. i can pass as cis, and while i hate when people won’t acknowledge my identity, it sure is nice to not have to be THEE genderqueer person all…

What’s there to comment? She said something that’s sad but true.

I imagine being a black transwoman is living life with the setting on expert level difficulty. What I’m saying is, Janet Mock is gonna get the highest score possible in this game called life.

This is a wonderful event to publicize, Ms. Mock is right, I can’t think of ever hearing anything about the life experiences or struggles of black trans women.
