yeah, I don't mean to come off as hostile or anything

I do think there's smth to be said for the way that they played on (well-intentioned) leftist/idpol sympathies to cover for the abuse, and that in the end it was only bc the fed stuff alienated that crowd that things blew up

all due respect, but the "they were a white woman" thing was actively deployed against allegations of boundary-violation, and they themselves claimed on multiple occasions that these allegations drew on racially-motivated stereotypes of black and transfem people as sexually predatory

can confirm this to be the case bc I'm still alive and stuff

unsure if "serial strangler" is quite accurate; AFAIK I'm the only one with that specific experience (there's maybe one more but I'm not 100% on that)

the other incidents were directionally similar but methodologically different

I've been wary of making this specific claim bc as one of the first people to come forward, engaging at all w/ their race-related narratives seemed like an error

gotta say though, saying "white people subbing is reparations" and then Doing That to (largely) submissive white transfems is uhh....

I'm not trying to be preachy or anything, but it was a huge part of how they spread FUD about their past for ages and I want to make sure that's recognized

hell, even with me - don't "just believe victims"!

I could be a total asshole regardless of what happened a couple of years ago - the things people say and do ought to be judged on their own, rather than contextualized entirely within broader narratives

nah I'm fine

the only request I have for anyone regarding this whole thing is the following:

in the future, please be a bit more wary of ideologies that'd have you blindly believe or support anyone on the basis of identity alone - it's not a good heuristic and bad actors can easily take advantage

What, so they can crank out another impotently long-winded blog post? They tried to cancel me for calling them out already, and it didn't stick

I don't even have them blocked, *they* blocked *me* for talking

heya, "strangulation girl" here, back on an account I never use anymore

The choking was consensual; the unconsciousness wasn't. I've been choked a good bit and never passed out before or since. It was played off as an accident in the moment, and I thought little of it until I heard others' stories.

they're apparently still doing conference stuff, which is cringe since it inconveniences me without being time theft

my whole office must've done this bc I showed up at 9:45 and no one else is here

I hope everything goes well!

I feel like just interacting with the transgender hookup environment in DC is enough to blackmail the average politician

we'd probably rend their flesh first though

it never even occurred to me to see them live bc how can they do concerts when they don't even release music

oh no I really hope no one chases me through this forest with a group of exclusively women wielding bows
