Assaulting a staff member over a meal is a dumb mistake.

F that...if you’re now saying it was a mistake, you’re saying that basic company policy (which is probably very lenient already, because showbiz) is perfectly okay with personal assault. I’m not okay with that, as much as I loved TG. There comes a point where your top celebrity or top salesman just can’t be kept…

I really really hope so, and am encouraged that most of the people I encounter are becoming more aware. But I also think that I live in a bubble and the people I DON’T encounter may not be.

I truly hope so. More than anything I wish that all these privileged groups I belong to, and I belong to all of them aside from the wealthy one, would grow the fuck up and stop determining everyone else’s level of importance and human worth based on their own biases and fears. But no. These groups have the power and…

I think if the majority are aware of that privilege imbalance it starts to erode.

This story breaks my heart. That's all I have the ability to say right now. There's words stuck in my throat but they won't budge.

Seriously. WTF is wrong with us? And by “us”, I mean all of the privileged groups to which I belong, none of which seem able to use their power responsibly.

It’s horrific. At least her voice is being heard albeit under the most awful circumstances. It’s not much of a reach for her story to be buried by the press.

Once again: Dear cis people, please stop killing trans people.

How utterly horrible. And people wonder why the trans community is particularly aware of the use of language and connotations that are made about them - the casual dismissal of their identities and the lack of support from non-trans allies isn’t just a case of hurt feelings and sensitivity. It’s directly linked to…

Along with the casual mention of just trying to find his friend in the damn morgue :(.

True courage sometimes looks a bit crazy. So sad that such courage is being honoured this way.

Yes. I began reading this thinking how brave it was to demonstrate about this in Istanbul, and it is, that’s genuinely impressive. But I ended the reading crying for this wonderfully gutsy, empathetic woman dead at all of 23.

Just ugh. Make it stop already.

I will use my new powers responsibly

What an awful story.

If you won’t tell the anti-vaxers they are wrong, then you have to wear the anti-vax label.

She was just gaining traction and someone made a mistake. Get the fuck over it already.

if you know her personally, you should adviser to quit pandering to fringe wackos for votes

She is pandering to anti-science nutjobs which is honestly much much worse. She’s not ignorant but she is willing to fuel ignorance if it gets her some votes. That shows such a lack of convictions and morals.
