‘I feel weirded out by trans people but am too scared to say so publicly in case I get cancelled cos the woke movement has created such a climate of fear” says person who just got her article published in a major local media outlet todayonline.com/gen-y-speaks/g…
The author raises the example of JK Rowling as an example of why she's now afraid to admit that she still has questions and discomfort about transitioning and openly transgender people.
But the the Rowling tweet she highlights is *not* an example of someone who sincerely wants to learn. Rowling was glibly taking a position that trans women aren't women. This is very different from "I'm not well-versed in this issue and would like to know more."
It's even more ludicrous to cry about a "climate of fear" from the "woke movement" in Singapore, where the establishment is CLEARLY on the author's side. Didn't we just talk about transphobic discrimination in schools, and see activists arrested for protesting this?
Oh, to live in this reality where the worst thing that could happen is to get "cancelled" on Twitter, as opposed to police investigations/court cases/defamation suits/imprisonment/smear campaigns involving powerful politicians + establishment media/blacklisting from employment
So it turns out the author wrote this for a university assignment and her teacher thought she "did well" and was the one who sent it to the press, who published it.
