I like to imagine that Bushnell is reading Hexbear from the Beautiful Shore, and just lightly exhaled from her nose.
Wait. was bushnell trans?
Make of this what you will: https://www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-news/bushnell-gaza-immolation-protest-trans-identity
It seems very likely that she chose to die presenting as a cis man because if she'd martyred herself as herself, her death would just be seen as "hurr durr 41%" or whatever. But of course plenty of people say that it's "disrespectful" to gender her as feminine because "[s]he chose how [s]he'd be remembered", or "[s]he's already dead so there's no way to ever know for certain", or "it's disrespectful of the dead to invade their private lives in the search of evidence", or "maybe [s]he was just in a gender-questioning phase", or "this one person who knew Bushnell personally said [s]he wasn't trans", and just generally the same shit we've already heard about K. Cobain for years.
