Same. I’m adverse for the same reasons. I don’t call myself any kind of feminist these days. In one interview Julia differentiates herself from gender critical feminists and radical feminists. Idk how accurate she was about them but labels aside she’s coming at this issue from mostly the same perspective as me. I would love to see Velvet Chronicle blow up. Her first act of subversion to my knowledge was trying to write articles about detransitioners, particularly lesbian ones like Chiara Canaan and give them a voice and being totally shut out by LGBT publications for it and realizing the conflict of interest and how abandoned lesbians were. So she created her own website. She was platformed by the woke within the last few years before they turned on her. She also wrote a “lesbian” book that appears to be health captive by her publisher. I put that in quotes bc she doesn’t think it needs to be referred to as lesbian just bc the main character is one.

When I heard her be interviewed it made me realize just how absent real lesbian voices are from this whole debate. You can tell the political ones bc they never get personal or detailed about homosexuality and stick with discussing women generally (e.g., Julia Bindel) and there is a place for those women in the fight against gender but I do hate how they crowd out real lesbian perspectives. We are criminally underrepresented in this mess especially considering how many of the casualties we bear.
