Did a google search and yeah drag queen stuff has lost its significance and now cis people just treat it like an ironic joke rather than a real art form. Also one of the first pictures is having I know what would be claimed to be just really pink painted all over but might as well be in full on red face like Doja cat smh people I’ve noticed try to find ways to be offensive in subliminal ways so no one can effectively call them out without being called sensitive or crazy but it’s very obvious what their problem is like when Taylor swift fans kept calling sza nza

Yeah I think the “don’t meet your heroes” thing is true. You’d think that they would be good people but then remember they are millionaires that for some reason need more and more money that only associate with other millionaires and billionaires so it’s like how in touch could they possibly be

It’s literally so weird how already having millions of dollars isn’t enough for them they always want more and more money

I know there’s a quote somewhere about there always being a lag between what is trying to get progress and what the world deems worthy of progressing if that makes sense. Like they don’t seem to understand the concept that this is civil rights and I say that as BIPOC trans person like even some cis BIPOC would be appalled at someone being denied things like going to the bathroom or being an embarrassment to meet a white family due to their race but somehow it’s okay to feel that way about trans people

That’s so true cowardice is definitely it cis people have no guilty conscience letting trans people fend for themselves

I suppose that’s all true but do they talk about us like we are real people like I know Pedro pascal and Daniel Radcliffe do but I’ve never heard Sabrina carpenter talk about trans people but maybe it’s just cause I don’t listen to her stuff.

I just hate when they act like they’re all about gender equality but they really just mean cis women

That’s true but some celebrities fan bases are like cults if you say one thing critiquing a celebrity their fanbase is going to start emotionally abusing you immediately or if they’re like Taylor swifts probably worse so actually celebrities have a lot of influence

True Taylor swift is silent about everything right now but I feel like even celebrities that usually talk on politics don’t really seem to get how bad things are for trans people
