Yes.

I will say, though, I mean, you know, I'm obviously not trans, but not to be like my trans friends, but like the most consistent explanation that I've heard, like from all of my trans friends and like the trans people whose work I read online and stuff.

It's like there was a period, I think, especially in like the latter portion of the 2010s, where people were really invested in like what makes someone transgender and like I need you to explain it to me.

And that's kind of where that whole like

born in the wrong body like brain doesn't match my body where like language like that started to come out as an argument of like why someone is transgender but the most consistent thing that I see is like well you're transgender because you are you know in the same way that like I'm like I'm gay because I am and like they can run all the studies and try to find the gay gene and whatever they want but it's like at the end of the day it's

It doesn't really matter.

It's just you are.

And it is exhausting to explain.

And it's so wild to see Candace explain this perfectly.

Apparently.

I will say there was an anti-feminist bent to some of her writing from the very beginning.

There was an element of maybe we've pushed these social movements too far.

And this is an article where basically Candace argues that women are being too sensitive about misogyny and about catcalling and that kind of thing.

You can bomb Libya as a woman.

Sure, sure.

But regardless of any of this, still consistently, Candace was very anti-Trump.

And this is in the lead up to Trump 1.0 election.

And so famously, in this one article titled, The Republican Tea Party is Led by the Mad Hatter, Candace wrote...

I can't believe that she wrote this.
