Dress

Roberto Capucci, 1956

so let’s check it out. oh. here’s a link to a short essay from one of her victims, natalie durkin, a transfem actor/writer/comedian.

what she experienced are not the actions of a community dedicated to protecting their trans sisters. she was harassed by a community that was hellbent on protecting a predator.

there are numerous posts that go more in depth on baliey’s predatory nature and past crimes/allegations, so i want to approach this from the other angle. like, the federal informant angle.

so Lulzsec was one of those ‘hacktivist’ groups; there r multiple off shoots of Anonymous if you aren’t familiar. a simple background: members had worked together before on prior projects, they grouped to form lulzsec in june 2011, then they did some corporate and police email leaking/card stealing/server crashing/etc.

laurelai was a member of this group; obvs my issue is not with her involvement in organized non-violent crime. less than 2 months after the initial hacks, laurelai cooperated with the FBI as an informant. she wasn’t the only or last snitch of the group, but i feel like people aren’t really understanding the weight of this.

bailey betrayed her community by raping a transwoman. bailey betrayed her community by informing on her teammates, putting others in jail to save her own ass. bailey obviously has high levels of tech literacy, and no qualms about sharing personal data (whether to feds or otherwise)
