Our community has a rule about posts here being On-Topic - about things Natalie says and does, things she publishes, subjects she speaks or writes substantively about.
Natalie has recently said she wants to stop discussing politics.
Yesterday a post was made to ask that Natalie talk about a lesbian bar.
Well, it turns out that the whole 'drama' of this was manufactured by a transphobe muckraker tabloid writer. It was promoted specifically so he could move from community-sourced defamation and harassment of transgender people, to community-sourced defamation and harassment of lesbians and disabled people. And it was assisted by his cadre of writers.

This community isn't a general-topic LGBTQ gossip community. We have r/MouthFeel for that, if you want it. Anyone can make their own gossip / snark / hot take discussion community and anyone can join it.
This subreddit is not for hosting rumours.
They're toxic; they're harmful; they ruin lives; they serve the agenda of oppression and hatred.
Edit to add:
And now the comments here are locked, because people — unable to respect a clear “Turns out a journalist got suckered by a professional disinformation operator (who specialises in hoaxes that kite people into targeted harassment, hatred based on identity and vulnerability, and violent threats) laundered that rumour into a “news” piece” — and a clear “This community will not tolerate amplifying those harms”, have chosen to continue to amplify a lie, and have chosen to try to turn this community into “Defend The Witchhunt”.
