I think this Kanye West item is the perfect example of being able to have nuanced perspectives and sit with information. I can condemn his past actions (duh), call out a brand double standard and criticise central government. All truths are valid too
Being a nepo baby and calling your mum out on a Monday night for allegedly doing sl*ggy dancing at your wedding?? Extraordinary work!!
Anyway, stream โNot Such An Innocent Girlโ in solidarity
Slipping, but not fully wiping out, on โinvisibleโ ice really is a humbling experience. And a few yards from a busy tube station??๐ฅฒ

For 16 years until 2014 Julie Hesmondhalgh played a trans woman called Hayley Cropper on Coronation Street. Nobody screamed. Nobody rioted. There was no national meltdown. People just watched the show and got on with their lives.
During those same years Helen Joyce worked at The Economist and Maya Forstater was a tax advisor and JK Rowling just wrote books.
Oh and Nadia won Big Brother!
So what changed.
Not trans people.
The only thing that changed was the hate campaign.
