Being referred to as "Transphobic", do you just accept the label?

Let them throw that word around until it doesn't mean anything. Ignore it - don't accept it or try to argue with it.

Yeah I think that would be good. I've already been called a "terf" a few times and I'm a guy Lol. It's like wanting to support women to have their spaces and rights is akin to being a Terf by association because God forbid you support a class that worked hard to get their spaces. I guess I'm just trying to brace myself because I will be talking about how I became gender critical on my YouTube channel and I just know I'm gonna be getting all these disparaging labels. So if I get called Transphobic, it's just best to stick to what I said and not address it at all?

transphobic is the least of what you will be called. You will be called a racist, a bigot, a literal murder, and accused of committing hate crimes. Don't adopt any labels that aren't accurate. I'd suggest make a first video about being gender critical, make sure you carefully draw the lines on what you believe (of course people can dress themselves any way they want, but that doesn't change your. No, no one should be beaten up based on their beliefs about themselves, but also women shouldn't be forced to share intimate spaces with men no matter what those men feel). Then collect the comments from that video and make a second one about all the slurs and accusations you received and how stupid they are. Double the content, and controversy drives traffic. Also, if no one threatens to rape you to death you can point out the JKR received those threats and you didn't, because misogyny.

You're right. I'm sure I'm gonna be put through the ringer though I'm gonna laugh if they call me a "racist" considering I'm black and with the exception of one video I did where race was kinda important, it was not a racist thing but I know that people will twist it.

Yeah I was gonna do something like that. What I was thinking of doing is that since I am a gay man, I was gonna start with a video that highlights my top 10 unpopular LGBT opinions with the my not believing in trans ideology being one of them and give a brief explanation why. Then I was gonna make a follow up video where I go all in on why I feel the way I do about the transgender ideology. I'm not necessarily trying to become a Gender Critical channel but it's just something that I want to talk about because there are certain things that just aren't being said that I'd like to bring to the surface and add to the debate.

But I'm also trying to mentally prepare because after coming out as Gender critical last year and losing some friends, it really did kinda hurt since I don't have a large social circle to begin with.

Well, you have us. And even though we can't go out for coffee, we are behind you.

Have you been over to s/LGBDroptheT ? Because you'll find LGB friends there in the same predicament.

Thanks and yeah, I've perused there and it makes me feel even more sane that there other Gays, Lesbians, and bisexuals who feel the same way.

Thank you so much for putting yourself out there. Will you be including the fact that Iran does the most sex reassignments in the world? For me this fact alone should have have everyone question what's happening worldwide as gay Iranians are executed if they don't undergo the surgery. The other jaw-dropping fact is that something like 90% of parents in the UK who visited Tavistock Clinic in the UK expressed homophobic sentiments

I actually totally forget about Iran's views on Gay people and how the only options for Gays is transition or die. Thanks for reminding me of that, I'm definitely gonna be including that in my video. And yeah I was gonna bring up the Tavistock after someone shared an article of how a lot of doctors were resigning because of the children transitioning problem. It was quite eye opening and I can't remember what the young girl's name was but she was explaining how she was pushed into the transition thing and ended up regretting it.

You probably have no interest in dropping your youtube out in public but I really would be interested in subscribing. Any chance you could PM some of us your youtube channel or just drop it here?
