Time spent
Following up on the last one, in which the BBC quoted “Cade Hatton, co-chair of the LGBTQIA+ Greens group” talking about “the most vulnerable” by which of course he didn’t mean the W or the L or the G but rather the T. Is Cade Hatton among The Most Vulnerable xirself I wondered?
Cade has a page at LGBTQIA+ Greens. The complete written content of the page:
Cade is a disabled, queer, trans nerd who spends most of their time either playing video games or sewing.
They joined the GPEW at sixteen, over ten years ago.
They’re passionate about climate justice, LGBTIQA+ rights, and their dog Gizmo, and cat Booker.
If Cade really spends most of xir time playing video games and sewing I have to wonder about xir qualifications for the job.
So relevant knowledge or experience with regards to environmental policy, any kind of science, or civics. I’m thinking the dog or the cat would have better credentials. At least they’re not going to pretend to be something they’re not. (Wait; this is the LGBTQI+ Greens Group, so pretending to be something you’re not is likely a requirement for this post.)
Well, Cade says dog and cat so they’re a dog and a cat, and not, all appearances notwithstanding, a potato and a tablecloth.
Their qualification is their identity. Nothing more or less. It would be like appointing me as Prime Minister because I think I’m important.
Cade Hatton interviewed on video. Clearly female, though would no doubt object to ‘she’.
