    someone who is likely LGBTQ

    this likely trans girl

    oh hell no cut this shit out right now.

    the person in these ads has, AFAICT, not said anything about their gender or sexuality.

    this is a random person in an ad you saw on the internet. speculating about what genitals they were born with, or who they like to fuck, is fucking creepy. don’t do it.

    (and no, there is no “oh, but if my speculation were true it’d be a heartwarming story” exception)

    But, damn, some times you gotta look for a little light.

    yeah shit sucks right now, but that’s a reason why we need more critical thinking, not less of it.

    falling for, and spreading, obvious propaganda like this does not make the world any better.

    from the article:

    She’s been making videos highlighting her job at Staples since the end of January and has blown up big time.

    wow yeah the end of January huh? did anything else happen on TikTok around the end of January?

      I totally get and share your distrust of corporations. I just want to share two points.

      Please don’t lose sight that Kaeden Rowland is an actual person, not an ad.

      Regarding her gender identity, she has told CNN: “I’m just a trans girl getting her ups […] at a really hard time for trans people to get their ups.”

      I’m also wondering how you’re associating USA TikTok’s transfer with Staples Baddie’s success. This isn’t a company nor a creator who particularly aligns with the regime’s propaganda.
