    On the Bicycle episode of WTYP she mentioned having grown up in Southern London, which also explains why she hasn't got anything resembling a scottish accent. She does however live in Glasgow and have been for a while. Honestly I don't think she gets more shit for being a trans podcaster as much as she gets constantly shat on for being extremely online. Like I get that her job is to make entertainment, and I've even admitted to still following some of her work, so clearly she is good at it, but she really needs to stop tweeting sometimes.

    Also American leftists have plenty of bad takes, and they also usually get told to shut the fuck up. Only reason the Chapo guys don't feature more on this site is because only a fraction of our active users even follow them.

      she really needs to stop tweeting sometimes.

      Sure. Her and the rest of us.

      But this is a woman with politics easily comparable to a Jack Flores or Liz Fransac. She's routinely described in the same terms as Va*sh or Destiny.

      Only reason the Chapo guys don’t feature more on this site is because only a fraction of our active users even follow them.

      Which sort of begs the question of where they're even coming from.

        Do a lot of people here follow Liz Fransac? I have no idea who the fuck Jack Flores is, but I don't remember seeing a lot of people talk about Liz' personal twitter. I also don't really think most people here listen to Truanon in the first place, so she naturally will get less scrutiny than Alice, who is still the cohost of one of the better podcasts :wtyp:

          A lot of people follow TrueAnon. Brace is the more colorful one, but Liz Franczak (apologies for my butchered spelling in the original) does a ton of the leg work.

          I have no idea who the fuck Jack Flores

          Should be Jake. He's the lead on Pod Damn America. And he's at least as popular as anyone at The Antifada or Rev Left Radio.

          she naturally will get less scrutiny than Alice,

          If you're hooked into the Nate Bethay extended universe but you don't follow any of the folks who frequently show up on the Chapo podcast... throws up hands

          How the fuck did you even find this place?

            I listened to Chapo for quite a long time, and made an account here within the first week of this site opening, after the original ChapoTrapHouse sub got banned. I vaguely know what you mean by Nate Bethay-universe, but I don't typically listen to anything that gets plugged by the guests on the Chapo pod.
