QuestionWhat about Meghan Murphy?
What do you all think about Meghan Murphy?
I know she's controversial in some areas, but I'm wondering here specifically about her lesbian/gay stance.
Here are the two things that struck me recently:
First - Her interview with Jennifer Bilek, who is always anti-trans but invariably also drops things against lesbians and gay, as well. In this particular interview, for example, she made a point that "LGB"s can't reproduce and so need other ways to gain more of themselves. Really? The last time I heard that argument was back in the 1980s in Farm Country USA. So stupid. I can never manage to listen to Jennifer Bilek because while she says some truthful things, she also tends to come across as more than a little nuts, and in an irritating way, as well.
In any event, I expected Meghan Murphy to say something about that stupid assertion, but she still hadn't many minutes later - so was she in agreement? Not sure. Meghan is never one to be shy about speaking up - diplomatically, and not, depending on the conversation. Why didn't she speak up this time?
You can listen to the interview here. Sorry I don't have a timestamp. It's an hour+ interview, and I'm not going to push myself through it again to find it (I was out while I was listening, so wasn't able to note it then):

Second - Meghan wearing a "Gay and Retarded" t-shirt? Is this one supposed to be a joke? Is there something else lower down on the shirt that I couldn't read that would indicate it's a joke? Or...?
Here's a youtube where you can see the tshirt in question:

Anyone have any ideas on any of this? Did I miss something? I haven't always agreed with Meghan on everything, but I've respected her willingness to stand up when others wouldn't. Now I'm not sure if my respect for her hasn't been earned?

congratulations my sister. you ARE strong. please keep telling yourself that every single day. it is important with any health recovery to remind yourself how strong you are. you can do anything. if you ever need to talk to someone please message me. my mum went through melanoma and is in remission now and positive thinking is something that helped her (and i, but my worries were minimal compared to hers) so much (as well as conventional treatment of course). i'm so happy for you. you never realise the true "weight" of cancer until it happens to you or someone super close to you.
Congratulations, that is truly wonderful news! I am so happy for you. I wish the very best going forward!
YES! Congratulations. I did a huge smile when I read your post. Here’s to life 🎉
Congratulations!
You definitely built up some serious karma dealing with shitty stuff this year but I bet next year will be awesome to make up for it ❤️
Congratulations! What a relief it must be. And definitely give yourself credit for getting through it all, don't do yourself down.
Love this for you. Being cancer free and choosing not to diminish yourself.
I'm really happy for you. And you're right, you're absolutely strong. What you went through was hard but you came out the other side, here's to better days!
Congratulations!!! Sending love and joy your way. Let your confidence burst forth ❤
Oh this is just wonderful news!!! I am but an internet stranger, but I am SO happy you are on this earth and this battle is over ❤️
CONGRATULATIONS!! I hope the next year brings you the opposite- relaxation, opportunities and lots and lots of good health. What a feat, I am really happy for you and your loved ones. ❤️
Congrats on being cancer free! I'm sorry you had to lose your ovary, though. My mother had breast cancer and got one breast removed and a big chunk taken out of the other one. She's alive but it was hard on her to have to lose her breast. Surviving cancer is extremely hard and I have so much respect for any woman who beats it. And yes you shouldn't sell yourself short -- you got a tumor taken out so you're right to be proud of yourself!
Thank you so much! I have deep empathy for your mom! I wish her good health and more life <3 It truly is a bizarre experience…something that I used to ground myself was just saying that they can never take ME away from me… I’m not my ovaries or my hair, or any physical part of me…I am my wholeness as expressed through my light and my voice/thoughts, which can never be taken from me.
Yes, you're very strong to go through that. It's amazing you have a strong spirit though, not everyone is as tough! Good luck and I wish you the best, too!
