I feel like out of all the self proclaimed gender critical men he's the most genuine. He interviews women and as far as I've seen he let them talk, he's not trying to push himself forward. To think I once donated money to that wretched donkey kong stream against him and in favor of Mermaids, ugh. At least it only was 5 dollars.

So glad you saw the truth about Mermaids and have found GC spaces!

That Donkey Kong stream - what happened to the ass who did that?

Seriously? What changed your mind? Or were you just totally uninformed at the time?

I was forcing myself to be pro TRA despite my doubts at the time. I was nearly only friends with queer people at the time (I've... Let go of them this month finally and it's not fun.) and felt like I was horrible if I didn't. Also I was especially depressed at the time and feeling like I was part of "something great" made me hold it for a long time. I really liked Hbomberguy, too, I connected a lot with his work, like his video on the outsiders for example, so I was certain it was my civic duty.

... Since then I dated a trans woman and in trying to be a better ally I fell into all the trans subreddits and saw how vile they were and I peaked violently finally. So yeah. Live and learn.
