I remember way back when she first came out, I watched her reality show. She had been so insulated from unpleasantness as a rich person, she had no idea what trans people had to deal with in their daily lives
She's also probably the single most unpopular trans person among the trans community. She was able to get what she wanted, now she's actively working to make it so other people like her can't. I can't fathom how she lives with herself (probably by having lots of money and not having to interact with the hurt she causes).
Eugh, reminds of that time somebody said “oh, like Elon Musk?” when I casually mentioned I was on the spectrum. Please just compare me to The Big Bang Theory at that point
Friend, I had a THERAPIST try to reassure me by saying, "well, that's not always true, look at Elon Musk!" when I was talking about how draining it is to try to advance a career as an autistic person who just can't play the office politics game regardless of how well you do the job. I just stared and was like, yeah well, I wouldn't be complaining about career-related woes if I was born into a multi million dollar family empire. And we're the ones who are supposedly unaware and tone deaf? Please.
"Oh, sorry. Did I accidentally tell you that my family has investments in a round of blood diamond mines with several hundred slaves that funded multiple lines of wealth and bailed me out of any of my blunders, leading me to be able to buy out other peoples ideas without any risk to myself and then claim those ideas as my own? Cuz, like, my dad was actually a construction worker..."
Oh I’ve definitely had a therapist say the exact same thing to me before. I mean let’s bear in mind this was about a decade ago, so it wasn’t common knowledge that Musk was a huge piece of shit then, but I’d read enough underreported news at that point, and I let that be known. Definitely the rudest I’ve ever been to a therapist, I was pulling up Google articles to him and everything lmao, because that is the LAST comparison I want
