I agree with you about that being a bad choice of words (real bad tbh) but also I kind of feel like people are arguing about something that doesn't really matter and that we don't really have knowledge of, like yeah you can speculate that Bushnell was probably trans but like, that's it, unless there's some further confirmation from Bushnell. With what Ive seen posted so far, like, yeah, they could have been comfortable with either gender representation. Personally I agree that it's most likely Bushnell was trans and would have preferred she/her pronouns (based on the comment re: the use of Aaron/He/Him in public social media vs Lilly/She/Her in private social media, which i agree is a big indicator) but like, idk, who the fuck knows, do we need to fight each other over it
and when i say it doesn't really seem to matter it's like idk, the gender of a person who martyred themself to stand against genocide matters about as much to me as the gender of whoever is piloting the drones doing the genocide
P.s. i haven't read the reddit link that claims to support bushnell was not trans and i don't plan to
P.p.s. sorry if this means i need to self crit but i promise you i am very critical of myself every moment of every day contrary to the arrogance i convey
