The Birds Papaya is getting her hair done today and then, that’s it, nothing else is happening. At all. I love this for her and hope it continues. She’s so incredibly vapid and the vocal fry is off the charts. She’s choosing to lean in hard on the skinny editing this week and then tosses in a cellulite pic just to ‘keep it real’. The damage she’s doing to women is incredible. This woman’s entire life is shopping, body-checking, getting her hair done and scrolling her phone. That’s it.

      Confused why a collab with a straight mother of 4 who does absolutely zero advocacy work would be “PERFECT for the girls/gays/theys” 🙃

        What absolute trash she is, using the LGBTQIA community to sell products. She does NOTHING for that community, doesn’t even comment on the MULTITUDE of issues that community faces as a whole. This is a new low. She thinks she’s a hero to “the gays” as she puts it because she puts on her best Rupaul voice to titter with what’s their name on their podcast (their name genuinely escapes me right now, but they pretend to be best friends once or twice a year). She’s a heinous wretch.

          Only people in the LGBTQIA2S community get to say if someone is an ally, “mother” , icon, etc. You cannot self-appoint yourself. And other white cisgender women don’t get to nominate people for this role either.

            Exactly. Thank you!! She’s not an icon or an ally. She has done nothing for the community. I’m not sure if June is pride month in Canada but she loves pretending she’s from the US and not one mention of it. Allyship is all about using your privilege and platform to uplit and advocate. She says it’s because she doesn’t want to alienate or whatever bullshit but honestly I don’t see too many people getting upset about LGBTQIA2S like in the past. It’s not as polarizing as Gaza (Not that a genocide should be polarizing but I digress) so she really doesn’t give an Eff. Why should she? It doesn’t affect her. She just profits off it and uses the culture and the lexicon for herself. I would hate to think about how she would react if she had a queer child. She’s obviously not a safe space, nor does she expose them. We made a very conscious effort to stay in a big city near the neighborhood my husband and i grew up in. We avoided suburban flight because it’s so important to us they live urban and exposed.

            I took my daughter to her first pride parade this year. She’s 14 and it can be pretty crazy down here (over 1 million attendees yearly) so I held off but she has been around queer people all her life and have always discussed allyship and what it means. My daughter came out as Bi at 10 and my friend bought her a bi flag for her room. We discuss Palestine and politics freely in our home. We are vocal and proud of our beliefs. She can keep her money and followers, I’ll keep my convictions and education. Tldr: she sucks.

              Pride was June:).

              You’re an awesome mom! My partner is pansexual and Indigenous, and I still never just was like “I’m am ally”- I was given that honour by members of both communities after being active in events for years. I love that you are having important discussions in your home ! Similarly, we regularly discuss human rights, consent, trans rights, body autonomy, genocide, advocacy, etc. We wear our pro Pali stuff, pride stuff, and have an awesome circle that supports this.

              I can’t imagine having millions of people, (allegedly millions of people) follow me and be OK walking the stage for misogynistic and sexualized magazine edition, and yet not be vocal about genocide, trans rights … literally anything of substance?

              Keep supporting your child! It’s obvious that you have a safe space that you have provided, and all homes should be like this. We cannot assume that just because people don’t say anything about something that they are a safe space. It is the reason why it’s so important that everyone is vocal about these things.

              You’re a great human!

          Are you thinking Myles Sexton? She put on quite the performance for that podcast. Is Bailey part of the LGBTQIA??

          ** I see that she is
