John spews out so much garbage and has been at it so long that virtually anything retarded thing you think may have happened, probably has. Even he may not remember it if he does it in a drug induced haze. Of course he will never acknowledge any of it.

I suspect John calls himself queeer because he dated men, but that's left out due to "true and honest woman."

One can only wonder, since putting your balls in a pickle jar is a good indicator for narcissism these days.
I am confused, I would have put "This is blatantly untrue" as "This is absolutely true." in the Wu-English dictionary, but it seems to be:
"This is true, but don't count me on doing something like that."
Wu, your position is either on your couch playing vidya, or in your office where you pretend to be a politician, while playing vidya.

He calls himself queer since if you accept his story at face value he appears to be a cis woman in a heterosexual relationship. That won't win him many social justice points, so he makes up for it by calling himself queer. I have no idea why he's never outed himself as a troon, but it probably has to do with his narcissism and how the "Brianna Flynt/Brianna Wu" persona let him rewrite his whole life story to make himself look better.
It makes me wonder if his marriage with Frank Wu is registered as a gay marriage (remember that Massachusetts was the first to legalize gay marriage) or a straight marriage via John having legally changed his gender, or if they're legally married at all.

Morning Edition by NPR, Jan 9 2018
Steve Inskeep: The #MeToo campaign forced many industries into a moral reckoning over sexual harassment and abuse.
David Greene: But videogame developer Brianna Wu, says she's still waiting for the gaming industry to take a hard look at itself. Back in 2014 Wu and several other female gamers endured a campaign of harassment and abuse that was dubbed gamergate. The FBI investigated but no one was prosecuted.
Brianna Wu: I can tell you in 2018 looking back at it nothing of note really happened. We expected help to come and it didn't.
SI: Here's something that is happening in 2018: Brianna Wu is running for congress in the state of Massachusetts. She spoke with our co-host Rachel Martin.
BW: The videogame industry has traditionally been a very male-dominated field, with the advent of the iPhone, the number of women gamers exploded. We're actually more than half of gamers in 2018 and gamergate was kind of a very aggressive backlash to that growing diversity. And what ended up happening is women like myself they been[sic] advocating for greater inclusion in our field, we received just an extreme avalanche of death threats and rape threats and really the destruction of our personal lives in a way that was just horrifying for many people to watch.
Rachel Martin: So, now we are in this #MeToo moment and the associated movement around this larger social reckoning about sexual abuse and sexual harassment in the broader culture, is that changing things when it comes to online harassment and abuse?
BW: You know its hard for me because I want to have a hopeful message especially for young women that are out there listening to this, but when it comes to the game industry itself, we are not having a #MeToo moment at all. I think what a lot of women in the game industry saw with gamergate is they saw that if they came forward, help was not going to come, they saw that they would be out there on the front lines, and, you know, you'll certainly have journalists that are happy to capture the spectacle, but as far as change? As far as getting backup from the industry? I think that they are scared to come forward because so many women have had their careers destroyed trying to come forward so what I need, is I need our investigative institutions to start looking at game studios, look at the hiring, look at the culture, look at who makes it up the food chain. Because we've really created a culture of silence in my field that is really similar to why Harvey Weinstein was able to go for so long unchecked.
RM: So, what are the broader implications if sexual harassment, gender based abuse, online, isn't curtailed?
BW: So if you look historically at what engineering is, y'know, engineers build societies, thats is what we do. So when you have an entire field of engineering and stem where women are kind of just shown the door very subtly, what that means is that women don't get a voice in how society is running, so I think what you're seeing with the internet right now, where its an institution that was created by men for men, and there are a lot of voices that weren't heard in the creation of that, so when we're talking about women being able to pursue stem careers, we're really talking about women having a voice in how online systems function.
RM: Brianna thanks so much
BW: Always a pleasure.

Guess he has no qualms about being on NPR, the same NPR he called out a couple weeks ago, saying they were making jokes about trans people.

My favorite thing about this tweet is that if you assume John never campaigned in MA-8 even once until yesterday, it's still technically true.

Like the even knows where District 8 is.
He doesn't live in it and all his supposed campaign events has been out of state.
And when people go out campaigning they have a website which they can direct potential voters to.

"We need our investigative institutions to look into the culture of game development, about how promotions are rewarded".
Yes John, I'm sure they'll get right on that. Then he tries to compare game dev culture to Harvey Weinstein's antics.
As usual with our favorite tranny, all hot air, no substance.
Is this political campaign supposed to show his parents that he's making some attempts at doing something with his life? It's clear he's not in to win the race.
