notyrdear:

i hate lady gaga for so many reasons.

but i think her whole “jo calderone” thing is the worst one.

she uses people’s actual identities as this entertaining costume to gain more attention for herself. if she actually gave a shit about trans* people or even the queer community in general, she wouldn’t write shitty fucking songs like “born this way” and she wouldn’t say “oh, here we go again” when someone asks her a question criticizing the way she addresses the queer community.

if she actually gave a shit about trans* people you would hear her talking about them, not just dressing up. it’s all fucking theatrical, this is the same thing as when she used a wheelchair onstage. this is the same thing as when, during a photo shoot that was “asian inspired”, she squinted her eyes in every single picture. it’s the same shit. she’s a fucking commodity and this is the cheapest possible way to make oppressed minorities feel like “oh, she cares!” 

she doesn’t.

not to mention that using tape to bind is a terrible idea and it’s bad for you. 

I just wanted to say that your argument lost about 80% of its credibility when you said “shitty fucking songs like born this way”

How do you propose she better depict the trans community? She’s known by almost everyone and you’re getting mad because she’s bringing focus to LGBT rights (but not in the way you’d prefer). She starts anti-bullying campaigns, she goes out to the press conferences, and because she’s dressed as a man you’ve got your panties all tied up in a knot. I apologize if she’s theatrical and it’s off-putting, that’s part of her personality. To be honest though, it wouldn’t matter if she was modestly sitting on an Ikea chair wearing a cardigan and blue jeans singing a nursery rhyme, you already stated you hated her and would probably say she’s changing her image to more socially acceptable because she can’t handle people saying she’s a dumb weird hoe.

Even if you think her support is ingenuine, she’s still doing a fuck hell more than you are for the minorities you’re ranting about.
