    He’s not even posing. He’s standing there holding his arms awkwardly while this woman takes a selfie in front of him.

    I don’t understand why this image has become so widespread. It doesn’t contain evidence for what the title claims. Bobart is dishonest and celebrities pose for selfies. This is not good evidence of transphobia one way or the other.

      Because it exists in the context of his behavior over the last few years of becoming increasingly anti-trans and just shitty overall. It’s not so farfetched to see this and believe he’s in on it.

          Because that’s not the point of my comment? We both know what I’m talking about, and several posts in this very thread go into more detail. If you seriously don’t see the problems with it, I’m not the one who’s going to convince you otherwise.

          But I doubt you’re quite so genuine. So go take your “just asking for evidence” trolling elsewhere.

            You clearly missed the point of my comment.

            I’m asking rhetorically. Why is this bullshit being posted and getting tons of traction as if a celebrity begrudgingly appearing in a selfie is evidence of their opinion?

            He has made pretty clear statements on the subject.

              I already said - context. If none of the anti-trans stuff happened, nobody would care about this photo. And nobody’s using this as “evidence”. It’s just more shit on the pile.
