Biggest sell outs I've seen are Tegan & Sara. They're kissing transactivists' asses and promoting how virtuous it is to be "fluid" and "nonbinary", and bitching about how evil Terfs are. All the while shitting on lesbians; a demographic that's largely adored them. I heard someone call them the "American Tatu" meaning they're not really gay. That would explain a lot. They're either bisexual twins, or hypocrites.

I met Tegan and Sara. They were the rudest musicians I’ve met. Stopped being a fan after that. Also, I met an trans lesbian who absolutely adored them, but seemed to want to take ok lesbian stereotypes to be “validated.”

Meanwhile I've taken all their songs off my spotify playlists and stopped wearing their concert tshirts outside. If they explicitly say they don't want money from 'TERFs', they won't get mine (which is easy since they haven't released anything good since Sainthood).

I find that transbians will take anything stereotypically lesbian and appropriate off of it. Case here, being super-huge-mega fans of Tegan and Sara. I liked them, I know other bisexual and lesbian women who do too. We are/were fans just like with any other musician. It’s this extra excitement that makes transbians’ fanship likening to worship for “lez credit.”

Yup. "Look at meeee, I like X topic, that makes me sUcH a lesbian!" I have heard the same thing with other celebrities or songs too, like being a "Girl in Red" megafan being supposedly equivalent to being lesbian.

Just goes to serve TRAs' fundamental belief: Being lesbian is a lifestyle and a culture, a fun choice you can make. Sounds like the same old homophobia, just repackaged.

I don’t understand why they think suddenly worshipping Tegan and Sara makes one take the lesbian card? They probably weren’t fans, or even heard of them, until they became “lesbians.”
