Hunter Schafer faces backlash for engaging with a problematic post

"Damn, Hunter Schafer is really supporting blaming other trans people for the bills that right-wingers and fascists are pushing to restrict and ban trans healthcare. How disappointing," one person wrote. https://t.co/BFNx5Nref4

What a week it has been for the yt cast of Euphoria!

I saw this on dm and as a cis woman I don't feel like I should police the views of a transwoman, but at the same time I have the core believe that allowing everyone to have the same rights doesn't take anything away from anyone - just adds.

It's mind-blowing to me. Can't we just people live?

This whole thing was wild to watch. Here's a great thread on why it's easy to be misinformed/misguided, even as a trans person.

I don't have much to say about Hunter Schafer herself - but I want to react to the post she reacted to.

Let's have a talk about transmedicalism, and why transmedicalism - not non-binary people - have a bigger impact on why anti-trans legislation is flourishing today. pic.twitter.com/b3Yymkd3KS

This was incredibly helpful thank you for posting.

I never even knew these terms existed until this happened and I was shocked to find that transmedicalism was so deeply rooted into the healthcare system itself for trans people, specifically designed to cause this exact division. Especially when they're passing it off as actual medical science TO the trans community. This shit is disturbing. Hunter definitely needed to be corrected if she agrees with this take, but of course the internet just isn't the place for *why* she and others might think this way. She's still young. Hopefully whatever it is she agreed with in that post, she'll learn better eventually, if the internet dragging wasn't enough.

as a general PSA to everyone, erin has been monumental with keeping track and boosting about all the transphobic legislation that's been ramping up in the states and she's also made maps of trans 'friendly' states and HRT resources.

I'm not adding anything to this because I'm not trans. However that Sydney Sweeney MAGA post fuck ONTD. Why the fuck you all letting that shit slide? Everytime a POC makes mistake you fucking bring receipts, but a annoying flavour of the month white woman with trash family? Then again ONTD is just filled with white trash from middle america with bad teeth and no healthcare.

That post was wild lol Honestly, this week has delivered in some very odd ways.

[muffintiem]

the fact that she clearly didn't post pics where the hats nor blue lives matter/thin blue line shirts were visible speaks volumes

like, if you paid for the party & put it together, and people show up wearing that shit, if you don't agree with the messaging, you tell them to take it off or leave, if you let them stay, don't say shit, and then deliberately hide it on social media, you probably agree

[ellumination]

there are a TON of people defending her everywhere, it’s ridiculous. apparently we’re “weirdos” for having a negative opinion on her sharing a picture of a man in that shirt to her millions of followers + her shitty response
