Jack is why people come to hate identity politics. People like her give the right wingers fuel to discredit people who genuinely live with dysphoria. She can identify into women’s oppression when she fancies (ie. to make money), but identify out of it as non-binary when it’s convenient (ie. to make money).
It’s exactly the same as pretending to be poor and working class when Patreon numbers are dropping, or there’s a dinner party anecdote to be embroidered, but also identifying as middle class to mark yourself out from The Other Poors™️.
I genuinely wish we didn’t need to be cynical of how people portray themselves and that we could uncritically adopt the “all identities are valid” model, but people like her are the reason we need to question dark motives, IMO. It’s a tragedy for people who just want to live an authentic life that liars and grifters appropriate all kinds of oppression.
She's completely inauthentic, not aligned with anyone or anything.
All her causes are flash in the pan (scuse the pun).
She changes gender and pronouns like other people change their socks. She's so adolescent. I reckon this iis partly why she doesn't get the big gigs, people maybe distrust her inauthenticity?
Plus of course a loose Canon, but not big name enough or engaging enough to make her a risk worth taking.
Real TV characters might appear to be outspoken and out of control but deep down they know how to play the game properly.
I still can't get over her calling herself a left wing journo at every opportunity and then later on changing to say she's a centrist.
(slight exaggeration, it doesn't keep me awake at night!)
. Implies such relish about the whole thing. Grim.
