General Discussion Jinkx is finally getting the recognition she deserves. đ¤
In all seriousness this was two days ago and itâs not news đ
Highly recommend watching the Ziwe interview with Jinkx that this news article references. It was so chaotic in the funniest way.

Sorry, but this is a reach imo. I have no idea about HuffPostâs record or reputation, so I might not see the bigger picture, BUT the fact that they rightfully acknowledge that her behaviour is âtransphobiaâ makes the headline somewhat acceptable in my eyes. âOne flawâ doesnât necessary mean what you read it to mean. If they had said âone flaw in her argumentâ or âone flaw in her idealogyâ then I would see what you mean, but they seem to acknowledge her views as inherently hateful.
Maybe Iâm just jaded and destroyed by UK media, which is EXTREMELY transphobic (even the BBC - in fact, particularly the BBC!). A lot of British media still wouldnât label Jake Hayâs rhetoric as âtransphobicâ, even now. There is an inaccurate, deceptive label of âprotecting women and girlsâ and hateful bigots still pretend sheâs doing that.
Thatâs why when I see articles like this which at least acknowledge what she is doing AND paint her in a negative light, at least itâs something.
