I'll pull out a couple of my favorite comments, in case anyone doesn't feel like digging.

Comment: Trans youtuber tells a commenter that he gave up male privilege to be a trans woman. Comment response (user THCA):

...You state in your comment to me that trans women give up male privileges, status, etc. But your video here is called "Detransitioning." So, rather than giving up male privilege, trans women seem to me to be voluntarily putting it to the side, to be reclaimed-- if desired-- at a later time..."

And this:

I find it interesting that when biological males talk about being a woman, they seem to focus on apparel, makeup, and manicures. I think if some of these men actually had to deal with the biological reality of being a woman, they might run back to identifying as male.

Or this:

The more I watch these videos the more I'm convinced that being a transgender is a serious mental illness. These are people who will never be happy with who they are. This person was not happy as a man, so he went to all the trouble to get himself operated on and mutilated to turn himself into a woman. Then she wasn't happy with that either, so she tried to go back. Then again he wasn't happy with who he/she was and now wants to go back to being a female. This is absolutely ridiculous. At which point will this person realize that he/she is never going to be happy with who she (he? I lost track now) is unless she admits that there's a very serious psychological problem that surgery or hormone therapy is never going to fix. Go to a psychologist and figure yourself out. Please. And all these these idiots calling out "transphobic!" are part of the problem.

I never thought I would see such insightful commentary on YouTube, of all places.
