    She only released a message later on, after the huge backlash she received, for the interview she gave. She stated she would not endorse any party but would vote for Harris. I don’t have any issue if she is not endorsing anyone, she has no obligation to. But considering she’s a role model and an idol for many in the LGBTQ+ community and specially trans folks, I found her “both sides” comment idiotically stupid and cognitively dissonant. That’s what pissed me off. Now, LGBTQ+ folks, are seeing the result of that “bothsidism”.

    Also why I kinda disconnected myself from US politics… I look at memes, laugh and that’s it! I no longer have the mental bandwidth to have discussions with people that think that defending such comments are in any way conductive to progress their own rights.
