This thread is unreal, spent a whole night reading the lot, so many twists and turns. I've been aware of Vonny's identity-hopping for a while but it's wild to see it all laid out together. I really feel for her kids, and I hope somehow eventually she manages to get & accept help.
I wish I could find the old CV of hers that was kicking about on some website which had reference to all the various supposed degrees in a range of subjects she had completed. I once had a brief argument with her on twitter when she was in her radfem phase because she had been claiming that she was an expert on the biological basis of sex/gender because she had a biology degree and I linked the freely available CV to her which showed the degree she said she had was something to do with the biology of trees (around the time she had the forestry comms job I think) and firstly she claimed she hadn't made the CV and said it was some website that basically autofilled things from other websites (I did not buy that at all) and secondly claimed that the tree biology thing did qualify her as an expert on human biology and gender which was real galaxybrain stuff.
I'm glad she's seen the light now re: the trans debate (and I called it well in advance that she would eventually come out as non-binary!) but I found this video which I think is interesting. I haven't watched it all but it seems everything she's saying is reasonable, but I think it's noteworthy that Trans Day of Visibility takes place on 31st March, when she would have been in the throes of the worst of her debilitating case of Covid, but well you can judge for yourself whether she seems fatigued and breathless in this 35 minute interview...
Quote from the Atlantic: "For Vonny LeClerc, day one was March 16 ... After a week of bed rest, she started improving. But on day 12, every old symptom returned, amplified and with reinforcements: She spiked an intermittent fever, lost her sense of taste and smell, and struggled to breathe."
(Day 12 would be 27th March)
The diseaseās ālong-haulersā have endured relentless waves of debilitating symptomsāand disbelief from doctors and friends.
