As for Cyrus plenty of Trans and nonbinary people side with Terf's on trans issues, unfortunately. So I'm not as quick to dismiss it as a mere mistake. But I could be wrong.(February 5, 2021 at 12:17 am)SUNGULA Wrote: Her status of pansexual and binary doesn't immunize her and I have to see the tweets for myself because I don't trust your warped views.

(Edit turns out I was right to be suspicious that WAS'NT the reason people were objecting to Cyrus. Do you ever sick of lying and distorting positions?)
Looking at it, I think most of us can agree that Miley's argument could have been worded a Hell of a lot better. Given that she herself identifies as pansexual and non-binary, you'd think she'd acknowledge that gender is more bimodal than her comments imply. But, frankly, this is one of those incidents where the discourse surrounding it is worse. I was able to find two articles about the controversy over it: one from Out and the other from the Daily Wire. The article from Out, frankly, is more eye-rolling than anything else, but the comments section is overrun with TERFs sticking up for Miley, and I'm fairly certain these are not people she wants on her side. And while I didn't look into the Daily Wire's comments section, I can't assume they'd be much better.
And trying to cancel a pansexual non-binary person for a poorly-phrased claim seems deeply counterproductive. I doubt that this thing is going to lead to a Graham Linehan situation with her, but I believe that, even if most attempts to cancel a celebrity are just little more than circle jerks with little to no real-world effect, it's liable (especially in cases like this) to do a lot more harm than good, even if it just means your demonstrating you have a watered-down version of the mindset of Dexter Morgan. Not exactly killing serial killers, just looking for an outlet for your toxic impulses on an apparently worthy target.
