this trans woman wrote a story about a woman who identifies as an attack helicopter to become a better pilot and was attacked by queer activists for transphobia. it caused her to be admitted to a psych ward for suicidal thoughts. she said it increased her dysphoria because ppl told her "only a man would write such a story"

>she suffered under hot allostatic load
many such cases

it's not HAL for people to assume that someone writing about "identifying as an attack helicopter" in 2024 is a transphobic troll
>>
>leftists are idiots who don't get postmodern writings
Nothing new. Sucks though.

i read the story and it very clearly wasn't
perhaps other people should do that instead of getting stuck in some outrage cycle on twitter

i dont believe her. she admitted herself into a psych ward because her article was shit

maybe don't write a short story using one of the most well known transphobic memes as the title if you don't want people to assume you're a transphobe
like I feel for her, but come on. She should have had more awareness of how this would have come across to people.

you know i have zero sympathy for someone who passes judgement on a short story without even bothering to read it
remove the attack helicopter and the short story makes no sense and loses all impact
is that a world we want to live in? where art is limited by the kind of person who doesn't even look at it let alone think critically about it
>>
>>43183848
I'm not saying she can't or even shouldn't write a story using that title
she just should have had the awareness that literally any trans person on the internet would see the title and immediately assume it was transphobic. I do feel bad for her because clearly the reaction hurt her a lot emotionally, but did she really not expect this kind of immediate backlash?

That's the world chronically online and chronically politicised people want to live in.
Mix of modernism and Christian puritanism. Aquinas and Marx have many incestuous children.
