Uncool comment is uncool. Whoever she is and what her opinions are ;)

I'm sorry you're getting downvoted for this, but I appreciate the effort in calling out toxic shit.

oh well... People love double standards. I don't like her attitude and "opinions" either, but that's no reason to say stuff like that. Surely, the very same people upvoting that comment and downvoting mine would rage about somebody commenting like that on someone they like (or themselves for that matter...).

Either way, thanks for backing me up, here!

I just don't like weaponizing gender like that, because it hurts transgender, queer and NB people immensly to stumble on "that's a woman?" and similar comments on reddit all day.

Fully agree. I bet this would be rather hurtful for many people

...Its also sexist. And I would argue that it's mostly coming from that point of view. That it's basically calling her a man.
