The strangest part is how the media goes along with Brianna with covering up that she's a transsexual.

Brianna was born John Walker Flynt and transitioned after becoming an adult.

The NY Times does not mention this, nor does any other media source covering her run for Congress.

Why?

There are zero transsexuals in Congress right now. Shouldn't this be a big deal?

It's not covered because Brianna never talks about being trans, and for the most part it's an open secret, especially because in his previous life, he was banned from his school newspaper for racist and homophobic slurs against other staff members.

This freak is actually a hero to SJWs related to the Gamergate movement, which she exploited for money and publicity.

Honestly I was perfectly willing to sign off on all this until I saw the word gamergate.

That's just a bridge too far for me.

Reminds me of this scene

Maybe this is superficial, but her knees are causing the bile in my stomach to churn. Looks like if Agent Smith from the Matrix did the mouth seal move, but to a shaven beave.

Because it doesn't matter to her? If it doesn't matter to her, why should it matter to us? Just another person getting into politics.

Of course it should matter.

Whenever a member of a previously excluded/discriminated against group makes it into a high political office, that should be noted and celebrated. It's the same reason it was considered so historic when Barack Obama was elected as the first black President.

However, that's not even the main point here.

Brianna Wu is a fraud.

She catapulted from total obscurity to relative fame due to Gamergate.

In Gamergate, Brianna claimed to be one of the victims -- supposedly threatened and harassed due to being a female game developer.

Brianna also made lots of money from this supposed victimhood, and is continuing to draw $1400/month in donations for doing nothing, based upon her self-declared (and already debunked) victimhood.

But even on its surface, Brianna's story has huge holes.

Brianna claims she was harassed and threatened due to being a female in gaming, yet all of Brianna's enemies/trolls do not consider her female. Go read the negativity about Brianna all over the web. Plenty of criticism for her actions. Plenty of criticism for her lies. Plenty of criticism for her opportunism. Plenty of criticism for her racist/homophobic past. Plenty of anti-trans slurs. But I can't find a single attack on her for being a female in gaming, because anyone who is misogynistic/bigoted would see her as a man, not as a female!

From this you might infer that Brianna was initially harassed and threatened for being a trans in gaming, but that's incorrect. Brianna herself, who avoids talking about being trans, reluctantly admitted during an interview that none of the harassment she received was due to being trans. It was all supposedly due to being female.

So we're supposed to believe that the alt-right neckbeard gamers were totally okay with her being a trans game developer, but were extremely offended by that also making her a female developer. Give me a break.

So why did Brianna claim "harassment for being female" instead of the much more believable "harassment for being trans"?

Because only a tiny percentage of the population is trans, and Gamergate was all about discrimination against females. There was no attention or money in claiming to be a victimized trans person, so Brianna instead invented a different narrative. With half the population being female, and with SJWs donating money to female "vicitms" of Gamergate like they were feeding starving children in Africa, Brianna wanted on that gravy train.

And so the "I'm so victimized for being a woman" narrative was invented, and the trans part was carefully swept aside so as to avoid pesky questions from anyone who didn't know or realize what was going on.

How can the NY Times, supposedly a beacon of hard-hitting, fact-based journalism (lol), overlook the trans thing when doing an article about a Congressional candidate whose fame came from supposedly being persecuted FOR BEING FEMALE but not for being trans?

In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a single trans person in this country who will claim they were a victim of gender discrimination but not trans discrimination.

If Brianna runs as a trans woman, and claims to have been a victim of misogynists, it brings up the obvious question of, "Wait, how can you say it was misogyny if those people probably didn't see you as female?"

So Brianna just never talks about being trans, and the liberal media outlets sucking her off also refuse to mention it.

Also if we are being blunt, the democratic party needs better optics than a Gamergate fuckup at the pulpit and I chose the word 'needs' carefully there.

Druff, your second -- and long-winded -- screed would carry much merit if but for one thing: Your accidentally revealed bigotry towards Flynt/Wu per this closing sentence in your original post:

I thought you hate SJWs. Why are you acting like one?

"Freak" can mean many things. I'm not calling Brianna a freak because of being trans.

I'm calling Brianna a freak because of the psychotic and pathological way that she's acted, dating all the way back to college when she was banned from the school newspaper for calling other students "sand n-word" and "dykes". (Brianna was John Walker when this happened, btw.)

This is an unstable and dishonest person, and rags like the NY Times shouldn't be glorifying her as a female Gamergate victim trying to fight the system by running for Congress.

This is yet another attention whore move.

Did you read the encyclopediadramatica link I posted in the OP?

With that said, she's up against a fairly well liked incumbent (Stephen Lynch) within her own party, and will get crushed in the primary anyway.

Dude, I don't "hate" anyone. Just the stupid or selfish things they do.

And your explanation of why you referred to Flynt/Wu as a "freak" is rather creative, but doesn't pass the smell test. Because the many abhorent behaviors you refer to, absent the sex change, would *not* warrant calling someone a "freak". "Pathological", or "psychotic", surely. But I am 99.9% sure that you would not have referred to Flynt/Wu as a "freak" absent the sex change. But I welcome being corrected on this matter if you can find previous posts about others where you refer to them as a "freak" based on similar behaviors absent a sex change. Absent that, your explanation is suspect as a post-Freudian-slip rationalization.

The freak thing describes Brianna's entire being.

I would not describe the average transsexual as a freak.

He is one of those transsexuals who obviously looks like one, and just didn't really have the natural looks to become a convincing female.

But that's honestly not what I meant when I used the term "freak". It was behavioral.

Are you implying that you have referred to others as "freaks" based on similar bigoted/emotionally abusive behavior absent an umcommon sexual/gender proclivity? Meaning, if male/John Flynt had not become female/Brianna Wu, would the abusive behavior towards others and exaggerated display of victimhood have sufficiently qualified John Flynt as a "freak" per your internal definition?
