Miley Cyrus is being called a transphobe for stating that she thinks breasts are more attractive than balls. So far 2021 makes me want 2020 back.

So far 2021 is just proving to me again why I took another look at Ms. Cyrus and decided she was worthy of respect.

I hope she blows this off and makes no apologies.

Whenever I hear about a celebrity cancellation, I've taken to Google recently just to see if searching the celeb's name generates any major headlines about the "incident." The outcome of that experiment shapes my understanding of whether the cancellation is as widespread as it seems, or whether it's localized to a few activists on Twitter. Luckily there's nothing about Miley Cyrus being "cancelled" on Google right now. (Sia's cancellation, by comparison, was heavily covered by publications.)

When did Sia get canceled?

A month or so ago. She made a movie about autism and the autists aren't happy.

Wonder when it'll be a man's turn to be canceled

They were considering cancelling Eddie Izzard, but then they couldn't.

I mean, it's hard to tell from the trailer, but it looks like your standard 'aren't people with mental disabilities inspiring and special', when A) the reality of living with autism (both carers and people with autism) is mentally/emotionally draining at best, and B) she's behaving as if she's got a few more other developmental disabilities/issues, not just autism on its own.

It also doesn't help that Sia didn't do an ounce of research online and didn't realise Autism Speaks is a terribly harmful organisation that treats autism as if it's curable, which it isn't. Just five minutes on Google brings up results about the horrible things they promote and scare tactics they use to frighten parents into thinking that their child will essentially ruin their lives if they're not cured.

Sorry for the quick rant, but I hope this clears things up a bit.
