‘You cannot be woke enough’ for the left

LGBT activist Arielle Scarcella says the manipulation of LGBTQI terms, largely by the left, is done for “validation” and “moral superiority point-scoring”. Ms Scarcella, who has a YouTube following of more than 600,000 worldwide, was invited to speak at this year’s Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras but was de-platformed after being accused of transphobia on her channel. Ms Scarcella told Sky News she has “always gotten more hate from the super-progressive woke left” and they are “very manipulative with the language”. “You cannot be woke enough”. In a recent YouTube video, she embraced her "conservative label" and announced she was "officially leaving the left". “Every day the words people are using to define themselves are changing, we cannot keep up,” she said. “More women are coming out as queer and leaving the word lesbian behind”. “It is not ok to take away a word and a definition that has meant something for some people and still means something for a lot of people.” Image: Getty
