Why does Brianna always assume that Trans suicides are always because people don't accept them?

I'm willing to bet that most (not all) suicides among trans people are due to other factors such as underlying psychological issues, disappointment in what they've become and the depression they were trying to escape by going through the transition.
If you're willing to massively alter your body and identity, you're probably not the most stable person to begin with. A lot of trans people hope they will be happy in their new body and feel utterly destroyed when they find that despite the hormones and the surgery, they're still unhappy.

Not everyone comes out of the transition as well as Brianna did. She got lucky having the money to complete the process and get the facial surgery to appear feminine. Dismissing the kind of psychological problems that many trans people face is, frankly, insulting.

Don't forget actual abuse and bullying, like getting beaten up, raped, told they're degenerates, etc.

I doubt there are many casualties from "triggered by a joke on Steven Universe."

Ugh, I don't know how to feel about this, I have mixed feelings, since I kinda like the post but don't feel like making fun of her. Good for her for admitting a mistake and apologizing.

I think it's what the kids today call a "humblebrag".

She feels the need to tell everyone how she apologised to a third-party she treated unfairly. Er, well done? That alone, as one of her random Tweets, is seeking rewards for something that normal people just do as a matter of course and not think anything of it. Hey, I didn't shit in a urinal today! Me!!! She then claims that apologising makes one a better person, implying that she is a better person because she's has done the thing that makes one a better person. She could have helped Twitter conserve their precious characters by sharing the same message written as "I apologised for being a shit. I'm great!"

I might be more charitable if she was simply claiming that a willingness to admit being wrong is a very positive trait. As it stands, I'm definitely happy he doesn't shit in urinals but I'm not going to be phoning in a nomination to the Nobel Committee.

I think she's also trying to suggest people should apologize to her when she's wrong. "Look how generous I am. You should be generous to me as well."
 
Looking at @pebble Twitter feels like seeing a cartoon where a lot of suits get themselves pats in the back for learning a life lesson while announcing a new product.
 
1.Oh you didn't make the article about me?!?! Transphobia!

TL'DR; had to throw out my popcorn cause they ended up being too salty.
 
Remember corporate social media depts: Make sure you NEVER EVER EVER mention any trans person, pretend they don't even exist, ignore them as much as you can.

Because if you mention or acknowledge trans people in the slightest you're gonna step on someones toes and get a whole barrage of abuse and dog piling. So it makes sense to just completely forget they exist and if a famous trans person does something good in the news then just ignore it and don't mention it, sweep it right under the rug because hey it's better if you pretend they don't exist than to step on someones toes and make your company look bad.

Oh…… did I just suggest making trans people and their voices less valid and even more marginalised? Hmm probably, but it sure beats having your boss shout at you because some Tweeter with 42K followers is shout-subtweeting about suicides to your corporate account.

Really bad day for the Pebble Intern.

If a dog doesn't live up to your "expectations" it's usually your own fault. Wu is a horrible person and probably traumatizes any animal that comes into her care. A narcissist like that should probably stick to the Blofeld model and have a Persian cat to stroke menacingly while plotting evil.

I imagine their relationship with pets is strikingly similar to the yuppie couple in Best in Show.
 
Patreon: So the day after her $5 boost from slashdot, she somehow got $52 from 3 new Patreons yesterday, and another $1 Patreon added today.

What's going on? This is unnatural.

Maybe because the dog's owner is a narcisstic nut who does nothing but Tweet all day. Can you imagine Wu being an attentive owner? I can't.

Poor dogs.

He can't even be bothered to cook. How can he be expected to care for pets!?

No, what bothers me the most about this is the double think being shown here by @cozyumbrella. He seems to be suggesting that when Brianna says "Cispeople", we the audience will only assume she is referring to the people who hate trans people and not all cispeople.
Now, if I were to say "Black people are criminals" and didn't specify I was referring only to the black people who broke into my house and stole my TV, you would naturally assume I was being a massive racist and slandering a whole race of people. But according to @cozyumbrella, I don't need to specify because "There's no reason to assume it's 'all'". Brianna is above bigotry apparently.
 
Get some fifty five gallon drums of water to dilute the sodium, Kiwis, Wu is SALTY:


This is the current pinned tweet on the page of the guy who has been calling Wu on his bullshit over the past couple of days. The tweet in which it's cited Wu is an utter hypocrite for favoriting that "Fuck off" is here

Speaking of that, here's a few tweet threads in which Wu has been called out:

Wu advocating trans people be condescending assholes telling other to "educate themselves":

Wu pimping sleazy clickbait sexist gossip from The Mary Sue

The watch company Pebble made an off color joke, and actually apologized, Wu being a shithead about it:

I can't wait for Flynt to pull out his nuclear option and announce being trans in an attempt to get back in the spotlight. I think he's salty that Jenner is getting attention.
