Not surprised about Atwood, honestly. I’ve tried watching some of her writing lectures, but found her too arrogant and humorless. I think she believes since she’s smart and educated she obviously knows what it is like to have different life experiences. How she wrote the sex worker in Oryx and Crake (or rather the woman who was forced into sex work as a child), has always bothered me. That whole book has a very male gaze, something that seems common among TERFs. They shout about protecting women while putting themselves above “regular” women.
Ugh! Also not exactly surprised. Atwood has written sci fi for years, but refused to call it sci fi because she didn’t want to be associated with the genre. She wrote literary fiction! I think she eventually moved away from that position but it very arrogant and I’m too good to be associated with this lowbrow genre. But ugh!
Jonathan Van Ness doesn’t in any way care about black people, people of color, or trans individuals (other than himself).
He is one of many people that have been found involved in trafficking and attacking a series of black trans individuals.He’s severely racist, classist, and colorist (falling into the English supremacist category specifically).
This is a desperate move on his part to distance himself from his several year long direct involvement in this scandal and remain socially relevant aka he’s pandering.

This isn’t misinformation but thank you for proving a lack of either A) Integrity or B) Knowledge.
It’s always enjoyable and enlightening to see the full breadth of the LGBTQIA community and know fully well that much like the rest of the population that they remain willfully ignorant and tenacious about their false idol worship.
if you can’t even fake a source you can find a better way to troll
I’m a witness to his absolutely detestable behavior and a victim of his but thank you random stranger for utilizing the typical trolling lines for individuals regularly found online retaliating against truth tellers.
I’m sure that Mr. Van Ness will give you all of the desired head pats and belly rubs for your contribution.
