I debated even acknowledging this, but since she is a major part of a major show on a major femme-forward network, I’d like to also point out that the call is coming from inside the house https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/10/05/martina-navratilova-drag-queen/

@53de482a Absolutely. I’ve heard about Navratilova. She’s lesbian, but she’s also a TERF. It’s certainly disappointing, but unfortunately there are lots of examples of people all too eager to shut the door behind them.

@53de482a Entirely. Also, while we're being showbiz and exposing who we really are by our actions, her relationship with her wife on RH made her seem like quite the bully and generally a pretty cold person. We should start calling her the Margaret Court of Tennis Lesbians or some such, just to accentuate the bigoted legacy of hate she's attached herself to.... *But, also, being rich and/or famous is just bad for your basic humanity. We really need to protect people from the mental health dangers of being very wealthy by taxing the fuck out of them. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/may/31/margaret-court-tennis-reaction-same-sex-marriage-opposition-is-bullying

@53de482a < think we all suffer a lack of ability to understand the suffering of others, even when it parallels our own. We can at best, sympathize. At worst, we tend to deny the existence of others' pain. Or, it could be she lives a life of privilege.
