A thread about women, headlines, and how the media work to discredit, undermine and harm us, and mostly turn you against us. This week I was on my mate’s funny podcast. The media have made SO many articles about this episode that it’s mad. Spinning everything I say. 1/4
Here They deliberately ignore that I said very clearly it was the abuse from piers about my mental/physical health and trying to blame me for a death that I had nothing to do with. This headline is opening up the idea: “the leak made her feel suicidal (as if out of guilt/shame.)
I said clearly; when I’m 40 (in 6 years) I might retire and work in mental health. Because I don’t think I will want to live a public life especially if I have kids. They all make it sound like I’m leaving NOW to then make me look like a liar as I carry on with my current career.
This is another deliberately out of context headline to contradict all of my current actions. This was a quote from the part where I was explaining my headspace during a breakdown 8 years ago when I left the industry for a few years. Not me now. I am stable and can handle it now.
And just for the help of it, in a different podcast, where I was invited to speak on cancel culture I actually said explicitly I didn’t know what should be done regarding JK in cancel culture, as it’s the trans community’s place to decide whether to forgive her actions, not mine.
I want you to be so careful with articles and headlines especially about women: they are deliberately inflammatory, and almost never in context to annoy you and to misrepresent and provoke us. To any woman journalist who contributes to this culture: fuck you. Traitor.
