How can you say Gamergate is inclusive when you're so transphobic?

"Transphobic."

First off, the issue with Kate is that it is relevant to the reporting of that particular story. The story started before she transitioned so it's newsworthy since without that bit the story doesn't make sense.

Second off, I agree that people going "She's a man, what's wrong with you" is bullshit... And I've seen a lot of people stand against that on this side (but you would know that if you weren't fed a constant stream of cherry-picked outrage-bait by the usual suspects.) To me, Brianna was and is Brianna because her past identity is completely irrelevant because she was Brianna long before GG became a thing.

Third off... Who cares? I sure as hell don't... You live your life how you want to live it and stop trying to shit in my corn-flakes by insisting that I am something I am not. I AM TRANS but having people like Tim say ON STAGE that I don't actually exist? That I'm just some dude pretending? Fuck that shit, you want to tackle transphobeism and all those other "isms" then you sure as hell better be willing to stand up to the people that do it REGARDLESS OF WHAT SIDE THEY'RE ON!

You say you're against GG because we're transphobes and yet you gladly toss your hat in with people that will grandstand ON NATIONAL MEDIA and erase me and my brothers and sisters because we're the "Wrong kind" of queer/tranny/woman/etc? Fuck that shit.

You need to educate yourself, honey... And I hope you can be sure you're not speaking from a position of privilege because I'm about sick and fucking tired of the bullshit that gets thrown at me because I want the fucking media to behave in a socially responsible manner.

SEVEN MONTHS OF ABUSE for that? Being told I don't exist? Being told that I'm worse than a fucking terrorist organization that beheads queers and trans-folk like myself? Being faced with an online mob that's thrown around my neck for that?

And who is in charge of the media "narrative" that tries to tell me I'm a terrorist?

This lady you seem to adulate so god-damned much. Not even willing to take even a moment of her time to know me and yet she judges me and insults me and all of my friends... And on NATIONAL fucking television too.

And you have the gall to say "We need to treat her better." 90% of us are TRYING to be civil here and she treats us like hot-fucking-garbage... And you wonder why people are irate at her? You wonder why people aren't saying "nice" things about her?

You have a lot of fucking nerve.
