it's really crazy how so many of these artists who have profited and become so big off of the queer community can actually feel this way. how do you share bigoted and disgusting views about the people who made your career? 

[Uncatena]

do we ACTUALLY know that that is her account? because this would be more than disappointing...

[Badger]

She’s been swept up in the fear mongering hysteria that’s all over the UK media atm. 

[Sheep]

This horse needs to shut its mouth.

[Cruel Summer]

I am desperately hoping this is somehow not actually her.

[JohnWayneHolland]

Isn't she like a gay icon or something?

sending love and support to the trans and enby sistren (gender-neutral) in the uk

[Heldenzeit]

Oh damn, if true that would be a huge disappointment to me.

Doesn't look like her profile - doesn't have the ó and í in the name, she has a different profile picture and is verified on FB

I'm sorry, what's the context here?

[Communion]

"Puberty blockers are ******!!"

 

I don't think people understand there has never been medication developed for trans people, nor is medication used largely any differently for trans people as it is for cis people. Antiandrogens like Finasteride are literally actively prescribed to cis men for non-medically necessary issues like hair loss because it suppresses testosterone and excess of testosterone is what causes hair loss.

 

And yet there's no sensationalized conversation over the way any such can impact things like fertility and sex drive with cis men wanting fuller hair as there is with people talking about trans women using it to suppress their testosterone.

 

This disingenuous "big pharma" claim TERFs have adopted is no different than the right-wing suburban house mom who rails against big pharma because she thinks flu vaccines have made her child autistic. It's not real concern.

 

And they know that which is why they then turn to nonsense to claims like "puberty blockers are used in prisons for chemical castration!!" with such statements being both misleading and false.

This is the profile in question, not sure if it's some fan cosplaying or but the account has existed for 6 years

Y’all so stupid sometimes. This is not her account, her name is literally spelled wrong. 

its her actually

 

 

 

ot: I dont really know how to feel. It's so weird though considering how she's used that community in the past...

[perfect blue]

Is she considered a TERF because she thinks children should be a certain age before they start hormone therapy? 

[Suilen]

Very disappointing. If it's really her, I hope that she listens to her LGBTQ fans and learns. Unlike a certain someone, she can't really afford to lose them and I doubt that the gender critical crowd will rush to buy her album.

She's a TERF for spreading the conspiracy theory that puberty blockers exist as a big pharma profit mechanism, 100% yes.

 

Would you not feel the same way (that such a person is unserious and uneducated) about someone who refers to ADHD medication as meth and calls prescribing it child abuse? The implication not being that medicine is tricky and nuanced and is patient-by-patient but that the entire concept of [insert treatment] is a big, fraudulent money-making scheme at the expense of children?

Anyone who says "please don't call me a terf, please don't keep using that word against women" is a terf.
