I interacted with her a long time ago at the height of her fame. She was very much a lesbian so I would be very disappointed if she has fallen for this gender bullshit.

It's sadder when those who have been out and proud for so long fall for it.

One of the things about KD Lang was that she was an icon for lesbians, especially young ones. When I interacted with her many gay people still did not feel comfortable about coming out.

That Lang was herself in public gave a lot of baby dykes and gaylings the courage to be themselves (I'm old and back then proud lesbians often referred to themselves as "dykes").

I hope she just hasn't thought about this much and is following a trend. But I do hate it when older women succumb.

More likely just a nod of support that doesn't change her life much. Still, kind of a bummer that she's happy with the way things are going.
