Hi, I want to talk about the current issue thatâs happening with GBPatch.
A lot of people donât want to get Rose fired. They want an apology for their behaviour towards blossoming attorney.
Hereâs the entire post, with Blossomingâs two add ons, that were not included in the post Rose shared:
I actually do want to correct some things I said here. I do actually agree with you on the point that Terry barely has any black features. T
In Roseâs âapologyâ they said that they reacted in kind. Blossomingâs harshest comment was the following:
Rose responds with the following:
Iâm sure that theyâre lucky to have their take be called braindead and ignorant. OP couldâve also called their take bad, instead of saying itâs braindead.
That aside, it is important that black trans people can openly criticise transphobia and racism. Those conversations are very important to be had. Like Terryâs lack of black features.
But, as Rose said, thatâs another conversation to be held.
I am sure that Blossoming Attorney does care. In fact, they are also a black trans person.
This is said in the parts of the post that were left out of the one Rose linked in their âapologyâ.
The post that was shared, ends with this:
Yes, they couldâve gone to your dms, but considering that the initial post was public, it was safe to assume that Blossoming had the right to respond publicly. Itâs also mentioned that they said Rose is transphobic, which they didnt. They said the take sounded transphobic, which is why they thought it was a bad take.
Edit: in the add on they said it sounded transphobic. In the call out post they did say that they think Rose is transphobic.
Rose ends with saying that Blossoming is trying to be racist and transphobic on their post. The conversation was about Terry and him being trans. Not race. That was brought up. Almost like a âyou canât criticize this bc Iâm black and transâ point. Iâm sure that Rose did not have those intentions.
Blossomingâs point was the following:
They were talking about the âsexualised designâ.
After that they make another add on to say the following;
they apologised. Is it so bad that they would want an apology from Rose too?
Also, I believe Rose when they say that thereâs a hate campaign. I canât tell them what theyâre experiencing. Idc about the shared screenshots, they shouldâve been kept private. There are people that are racially motivated and do want Rose to lose their position. Thatâs what we should talk about. Itâs horrible that people in this community are after someone. This is why we need sensitivity readers and why we need to call that behaviour out. I made my original post to share that Blossoming Attorney isnât part of it.
