My FAQ, which includes questions like “am I transphobic?”, “am I in the Epstein files?”, and “do I have mold in my house?”, is prompting a lot of questions already answered by the FAQ.

What I like about the EW article is that it doesn't let her rep's lie stand, it lists several items to the contrary. More outlets could take a lesson from that.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

A photo of Robin Ince with the caption: Robin Ince is the first-ever patron of TransActual!

Comedian and poet Robin Ince has become TransActual's first patron.

Ince, who was for many years co-presenter of BBC Radio 4’s The Infinite Monkey Cage, stepped down last autumn saying he had been targeted by BBC figures over his support for the trans community.

Ince says, “I have never liked bullies and I have never understood people who form their personalities around what they hate rather than what they love. I was in my late teens during Section 28’s path through parliament and it was a moment of political awakening. We continue living through times where those who really make the lives of people harder still manage to hide behind any scapegoat they can make. Anyone who can be othered can find themselves in the position of pariah.

He concludes: “I have met too many trans people living in fear, spoken to too many families who have seen their trans children crushed. Now is not the time for my silence."

So often what are called “culture wars” are one set of people saying “please can we live without perpetual persecution” and another saying “no, f*** you” but the press considering the latter group have “legitimate concerns” and must be perpetually platformed

We need a serious reckoning about the British press. We've had too many tragedies. And this whole saga was nothing but appealing to the worst, most prejudiced instincts of their writers and readers. They turned this into a cruel, relentless spectacle until a terrible outcome.

The bar is truly so low for public figures being trans accepting that I found myself genuinely getting a bit emotional listening to Christopher Nolan use the correct name and pronouns for Elliot Page and describe how nice it was to reconnect with him after doing Inception together

THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.

The Odyssey is probably a good diagnostic test: anyone who thought even for a moment the backlash was real has been brain poisoned by right-wing social media and they should immediately discontinue reading X, Facebook, etc.

Just sat down to watch The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX. This has been my most anticipated film since it was announced and I bought these tickets a year ago. Really excited to see what Christopher Nolan does with this and to see it in the best format possible. #theodyssey #bfi #imax #christophernolan

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Pratchett’s politics evolved over the series, because he wrote them over the course of most of his life, and his own thoughts evolved. This does not make his politics “hard to pin down” unless what you’re trying to do is avoid describing the conclusions he reached about, say, trans rights, HELEN.

Nah. Not only has Britain eagerly led the charge in our cultural genocide, the cowardly way they call it “guidance” and couch it in faux concern for trans peoples’ safety is a uniquely British insult. All of the hate, none of the ownership. This is the policy you are seeing in Starmer’s Britain.
