Actress Alyssa Milano stepped deep into a big, ole pile of political doo-doo on Friday when she decided to tweet about how much of an ally she is for all of the downtrodden, oppressed minorities out in the world, causing SJWs to lose their mind and lecture her about her “white privilege.”
The left eating their own, always hilarious to see.
She started out with a very woke idea: congratulating transgender women on International Women’s Day.
My transgender sisters! I am celebrating YOU this #NationalWomensDay!

But when a detractor asked if she was transgender — a comment apparently meant as an insult — Milano responded by insisting that yes, she “is” transgender. In fact, she said, she “is” everything.
“I’m trans. I’m a person of color. I’m an immigrant. I’m a lesbian. I’m a gay man. I’m the disabled. I’m everything. And so are you, Kirk,” Milano tweeted. “Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know or understand. No one wants to hurt you. We are all just looking for our happily ever after.”

Critics of social justice warrior culture can spot precisely where Milano went wrong. While white people — and, in particular, white feminists — are “privileged,” and while they may use that “privilege” to bring attention to the plight of oppressed and minority peoples, they cannot take on those characteristics for themselves, since they really don’t have the “lived experience” necessary to truly “understand” how the people they’re representing feel.
No surprise, that’s exactly the subject of the pile-on that ensued.
Detractors were quick to question Milano’s “intersectionality.”
What the ever living fuck is this able bodied straight rich white b**** talking about? https://t.co/MrRv1x16AZ

This is not how to be an ally. You are neither of these identities so have no idea on the struggles faced by these marginalised groups. If you want to support these groups say I stand with, not I am. https://t.co/73W3Qym5Rd

I am so tired of straight, white, able bodied, cis women sloppily using intersectionality as a brand. https://t.co/kZpM6mrSXZ

The right also jumped on Milano, only for different reasons, though completely deserved for this wackadoo statement:
You’re delusional. https://t.co/oKDifcGAZb

Jim Hanson’s tweet is by far the best out of them all:
I’m Batman https://t.co/LFY31TP2fH

Milano later went on to issue an apology for the tweet a bit later on, stating she was thankful for the conversation it sparked. Riiight.
I’m glad this tweet invoked conversation. I’m so sorry it offended some. I see you and hear you. But just a reminder, empathy is not a bad thing. Nuance is important and literal interpretation is not always intended. And I can identify with and not identify as. Both are powerful.

This is proof that the world as we know it has gone completely, utterly mad with progressive agenda. It’s deplorable in just about every way imaginable.
Actors, musicians, and other influencers are more concerned about shoving this cockadoodie nonsense down our throats than they are with creating good art, which is a crying shame, as so much talent is being wasted on pushing an agenda.
Sad times.
