Brianna Wu Says She Didn’t Change. The Progressive Movement Did.

There’s no one quite like Brianna Wu. 

She’s a trans woman who advocates passionately for trans healthcare, but also thinks many trans activists have lost the plot and are alienating women and feminists. She’s a progressive who once called Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez one of the best politicians in America, but is also a staunch supporter of Israel. She was a victim of an alt-right cyberattack during the Gamergate scandal, but now thinks that the far left has become just like that mob. She’s a feminist who has argued for more female representation in the gaming industry, but believes that diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts have gone way too far. 

Brianna says her politics haven’t actually changed much. It’s the Democratic Party and the left that have changed, and it’s making the left, she argues, unelectable. But she’s not sitting by while it runs itself into the ground. She wants Democrats to get back to common sense, kitchen-table issues. Which is why she’s speaking out and why she’s launched a political action committee, Rebellion, that’s fundraising in the 2024 election cycle.
