True true, but most of us non-celebrities are less likely to develop the delusion that we can do whatever we want whenever we want because everybody adores us so. ---

> [@Babale](#): > > I DO find it odd that so many Netflix specials are about this topic. I guess it drives controversy which drives views, and the Almighty Algorithm, Blessed Be Its Name, is all about that. But eventually the stench of the transphobes will rub off on Netflix if they’re not careful.⁢ I don’t find it odd. When they treat trans people differently than other minority groups, it’s pretty clear that the reason is that they are transphobic. Someone who is a bigot for money is still a bigot. This is actually the one thing that makes me happy about Netflix’s current slump that is causing them to freak out. I know that the bulk of the people unsubscribing aren’t doing so because of this issue. But it does feel karmic. ---

The cashier said, “Strip down, facing me.” By the time I realized she was talking about my credit card, it was too late. ---
