Lavatory is the only person on the planet to have ever read and studied George Eliot. Any Eliot reader who does not believe she is trans is just an anti-intellectual illiterate. Except there have been better educated and people of much higher intelligence than he who have studied Eliot’s work and never once did any of them get ~trans vibes~.Joe just cleared everything up. He NEVER said George Eliot was trans. "Unquestionably trans" just doesn't mean "unquestionably trans" in this context, because "unquestionably" does not mean "unquestionably" within academia, which you uneducated plebs would already know if you were familiar with Joe's work.

Lavery seems to be arguing that because women could publish under their names (no shit dude), it means that George Eliot chose her name to signal her queerness and not the myriad of other reasons that have been cited. At the end of the day it does all come down to him targeting Eliot because she used a male pen name. If she had called herself Mary Ann Evans, Lavery wouldn’t be desperately inventing evidence to trans her. His claim to figuring out she was trans by having some sort of exclusive access to her journals is fucking stupid, and it’s equally stupid that he pretends that TERFs are the only ones who don’t believe she was trans.
I notice his tweets have gotten little engagement apart from the regular “you go girl!” men. His argument isn’t as unquestionable and totally intellectual as he believes it is and it’s quite obvious his “fanbase” has little interest in literature.
