Might wanna rearrange that title - it looks like you're saying Sophie is the one doing the gaslighting. Maybe "Sophie Labelle: Trans People are Being Gaslit" would be better. ETA: Or at least put the title in quotes, and Sophie's name outside them.

    Also, why is she opening up her TV?

    The version on her tumblr seems to have edited the line to say "turn on" instead of "open" (also has an artist watermark). The author is Québécois, so might be a regional and/or French thing.

    Noticed that, too - the best guess I had was that it's like opening an app on a phone or tablet. "Smart TVs" are just glorified huge tablets that run apps like the smaller versions, so you "open" an app to watch TV, too.

    Journalist edit: "She is scared", You heard her, scared like we all... Next topic, how to prevent wokemageddon, stay with us.

    If You ever get asked such question, be aware who asks it (should be pretty obvious). Stay safe.

    The only way to defend trans rights is through class struggle, by organizing workers from the bottom. Expecting change through reforms is profoundly counter-productive.

    Class reductionism is harmful, it ignores the causes of discrimination and tries to postulate that it all comes to economical struggle. It's a tool of Marxists to deflect from intersectionality and anti-authoritative understandings. To tackle this you need to be changing minds, not systems or else you will have the same thinking in a different state.

    kinda agree with @whoizdisiz@lemmy.today:

    Trans people are being gaslit — Sophie Labelle
    『Trans people are being gaslit』Sophie Labelleの漫画

    In some other UIs, that don't show the media first, it reads as if “Sophie Labelle is gaslighting transpeople” in passive tense.

    I rather show the Hooverism going around. E.g. France has already acccused the protests on Russia, and the refrigerator hacks on Iran. Responsibility and accountability mean nothing to Macron’s regime.
