We had a lovely conversation about 'Brown/Trans/Les', my work in general, and when 'Estro Junkies' is releasing this year! Thank you so much for inviting me on, and for spotlighting my work <3
The discourse between feminism and anti-feminism has always been "women don't deserve this" v/s "yes you do and actually, you like it, so shut up"

For anyone interested, Sarah Gerard wrote a book about Caroline’s murder that includes a section on how Botstein’s indifference enabled violence against women at Bard. It includes a discussion of his one book, on the education of adolescents, which includes his thoughts on girls’ “menarche.”

Sex between faculty and undergraduates was permitted and tacitly encouraged. He berated a consent activist. Title IX proceedings were known to have his scorn. He personally intervened on behalf of male students accused of violence against women, including the man who murdered my friend Caroline.

Hard to overstate the extent to which Leon Botstein’s personal scorn for feminist anti-rape politics permeated Bard College’s culture while I was there. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

And never forget that Dame Hilary Cass belittled as "shroud wavers" those of us asking, begging, for a regime that would keep trans children alive.
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

I just don’t understand how a condemnation of colonialism requires pretending that no non-western people ever do anything wrong? Feels almost patronizing tbh

“Women with more serious problems don’t need feminism” is a common expression of this, as Talia has often illuminated. The angle here is to continually frame “more serious problems” as never having to do with gender

One of central strategies of anti-feminism is the effort to depict feminism as a vanity movement, a grab for more privilege, instead of a real human concern that addresses a a serious need in the world. This always paints gender oppression as a secondary problem at best.
Every argument starting with "prelapsarian precolonial non-patriarchy" always ends with "and that's why real women of <culture> don't need feminism" and I am somewhat tired of so many of you losers falling for this trick approximately six squintillion times.

Academic friend sending me snippets by *the* Indian postcolonial theorist arguing that because women in the Mahabharata were 'powerful' gender wasn't a thing before the British raj and also Indian women don't need feminism.

One question I have is that if Bard President Leon Botstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s friend, thinks that college rapist boys are similar to Nazis, then why does his school treat them so leniently? www.huffpost.com/entry/bard-c...

Trans teacher: “I’d like staff and students to refer to me as Mx”
School: “Sure, that’s a reasonable request”
Tommy Robinson (criminal): “Guess I’ll start harassing this teacher - at school, at home, everywhere”
Gavin Williamson MP: “Keep it up, Tommy, and let me know if you need anything”

The Venn Diagram between racists and transphobes is a circle.
The actions of the far right against migrants and how likes of many "gender critical activists" act towards trans and non-binary individuals are one and the same.
It was inevitable it would escalate.

I really hope people advocating to ban kids from SM read this. Some kids are isolated by disabilities or circumstances. Furthermore, some kids grow up in abusive households. “Ideally, a child’s exposure to online worlds should be moderated by their parents” isn’t a reassuring sentiment for everyone
