    Absolutely. I’m also not a huge Scarcella fan. I get being frustrated by the woke left, but that doesn’t mean running to the populist right makes sense. It’s an over-correction that just puts you on the other side of the horseshoe. And it also makes it easy for TRAs to smear our genuine grievances as conspiracy theories and right wing propaganda.

    It doesn’t help that she’s not great at structured arguments either. She reacts completely emotionally and often wants to use facts to suit her narrative. And the fact that she responds to all criticism with “they hate me because I’m not a leftist” is frustrating. She ought to make an actual rebuttal to criticism. (All of the OnlyFans shit where she pandered to straight guys was weird af too.)

    Oh man thanks so much for posting that link. I knew I had seen somewhere that lesbian domestic violence rates were being falsely inflated by the fact that the overall total includes violence by male partners.

    Thanks for clarifying this, Jay! It's always troubled me.

    I wonder if it may also reflect counting straight-men-with-ladyfeelz as "lesbians". One of those guys is dating (or, more horrifying yet, married to) a lesbian, and abuses her? Ooh, those lesbians-- they're so abusive! What's their problem with getting all the death and rape threats? Given how VIOLENT they are TO EACH OTHER. Must be totes comfy with it, so feel free to carry on terrorizing 'em, trans-cultists!
