If I have understood the context of this tweet correctly, it was a response to the 'feminist' academic journal Hypatia's article about bestiality. I don't know why the article from 9 years ago is suddenly trending on the internet but I suspect some offence archaeology was afoot. There was an Ovarit thread in the last couple of days but I am unable to find it at the moment.

Anyway, I don't think the LGB Alliance posted this tweet apropos of nothing. If they had, it would be fairly strange and would be one of the rare instances where the moniker 'bizarre rant' would be justified. As usual however, nuance and context are flattened and removed so all the 'normal' people see is the backlash.

The same thing is happening around Scotland Rape Relief. The trans-identifying nominal head of a rape charity makes stupid and grossly unprofessional remarks and is called out on it by people on Twitter, but then those call outs are framed as 'transphobic abuse' because of course they are.

Anyway enough of context. As for my thoughts on the tweet itself, I agree in sentiment but /u/sneeuweekhoorn makes a very trenchant point about bestiality not really being what we should be worried about. Gender Inc.'s relentless focus on the transing of children is the bigger concern, especially since gay men have had to spend decades convincing normal people that they are not paedophiles and then TQ minces in and undoes all that.

As someone who IS concerned about animal abuse, I agree with you.

The focus is on children, not disgusting bestiality.

I think they will do everything they can to normalize pedophilia, THEN the flood gate will open up further.

Ah, thank you for the context!! I did not have time to dig deeper than just this tweet being removed. That makes more sense.

Agreed with you both also. :)
