in what regard? what did you change your mind about?
at first it was just TERF tweets where she felt "her space" as a woman was being diminished. and even though that caused an uproar i thought the reaction was very unnecessary, doxxing and harassment specifically as well as the amplified coverage of what in reality is just a middle aged woman upset that "progress" of menstruation in the public lexicon was being reduced. and i was posting in pard when that happened, pointing out that while the position may be transphobic to pro-trans people, it came more from a place of old school feminist logic because she perceived the attack on feminist gains not as coming from trans people, but woke journalists pandering to a pro trans audience rather than trans people themselves.
then as her tweets became more about trans people's behavior i called out the shift, that she was no longer lamely playing the victim but actually going on the attack. a move some people predicted, that i said wasnt going to happen, and admitted i called it wrong. and realizing i misread i said if she keeps getting attacked she's gonna move even further right on trans issues.
then she started actually organizing with butch lesbian feminist anti trans people, and while i allowed space for that it was a step i didnt think she'd make. the upside is so slim and the downside so massive to publicly align. but there was no news of her joining marches or financially supporting TERF or anti-Trans movements.
then she released her podcast, which was unlistenable victimhood TERF propoganda, and i called it as such.
then she released that she's financially supporting groups that publicly lobby for NHS changes, and i said they were fruitless.
then i was told NHS already made changes, and admitted i missed that, and on a cursory review i didnt see that much that was problematic but asked for an explanation.
and that brings us to today where i'm still reviewing the effects on the NHS changes in problematic areas, while also reading up on why the NHS implemented them so i can assess blame levels for her TERF groups.
