Lizzo Calls Out ‘Complicit Silence’ Perpetuating Transphobia, Racism & Fatphobia


Lizzo has some thoughts. In a series of tweets Wednesday morning (March 8), the musician opened up a conversation about how issues such as transphobia, racism and fatphobia intersect.

“Transphobia is lookin real rooted in racism right about now…,” she began in a tweet before following it up with another. “I’ve never heard a person say why they’re racist… Or fatphobic.. I’ve never heard a reason why someone is transphobic.. I think if we knew ‘why’ these people felt this way there would way less support for these ideals. Because the ‘why’ is more insidious than we realize.”

Transphobia isn't a thing but I am fatphobic. Land whales like Lizzo do scare me.

Exactly, the morbidly obese can fall and squish us to death, but how is a dude with tits more dangerous than any other man? Why would we be afraid of them?

I wish our country wasn't so dumbed down. People hear this crap and repeat it.

The next time Lizzo has more profound thoughts, she should try to charge people to hear them.

Here are your answers:

Transphobia: Disease causing activity and they want to have sex with your kids.

Racist: Crime

Fatphobia: Unhealthy and unattractive.

She’s fat and ugly.
Trans people are 99% ugly.
The ones that aren’t have the wrong genitals or mutilated ones.
Fat people are fat.
That’s why people say things about it.
It’s always like that and will continue to be like that forever.

Who is Lizzo? Is that the name of one of the Hungry Hungry Hippos?

Wait, folks are saying that being the size of a baby hippo isn't healthy?

Next you're gonna tell me that not knowing what bathroom to use and electively having your penis surgically-mutilated in your quest to be a "woman" isn't mental illness.

Does laughing when a grown man announces his pronouns unironically count? Did that yesterday on a meeting.
