I just got off the phone with Grey and we’ve had a very meaningful conversation.
We both recognize that this situation has gone way too far past the points of what it was actually about. Apologies were exchanged.
Now we ask everybody to stop coming for those who were never —
haley is probably one of the most kinda hearted, understanding, and honest people i’ve ever met. plus a multitude of other positive things. she has this massive, massive heart when it comes to her friends, and it’s so sad that most people don’t get to see that side of her.
i love caia with my whole heart. she truly has a heart of gold and always puts everyone above her own needs. to have her by your side, is to have a full support group bc she’ll never let you fall without helping pick you back up. she’s quick to apologize when she’s wrong,
i’m so lucky that you’re my best friend and my love for you is deeper than any app. you have shown up for me, loved me, and inspired me so much since the first day i met you. i’m sorry everyone doesn’t see how great your heart is but it’s loud and clear to me. love you forever ♡
Saying that we would have a theme about rape and trafficking and host events involving rape, insinuates that we as a group are a bunch of rapists.
As an SA survivor, this was way too far and people are more outraged that we are upset about this than the fact it was said.
defending your cause, I worry for the cause as a whole. We at Bellissima support trans lives but we don’t support bullying and harassment in the name of “defending” trans people or anyone.
To ask others to be understanding and show empathey & to show growth and change, and then in the same breath say horrific things about them in the name of “activism” is hypocritical and harmful. Your message is unheard going that low. If these are the types of people you have -
Anyone being rapedcis or trans, is bad and unacceptable. Our empathy isn’t selective, yours is. You can’t imagine trying to understand people you don’t like or you feel who have wronged you and so saying the worst of the worst isn’t sweat off your back. That’s disturbing.
