Thanks! Lol, it always makes my day a little brighter when you approve of one of my posts :)

Notably across these interviews he shows an evolution of his thinking. When he was interviewed by Upperhand Mars (a non-reality-denying trans man) earlier, Shape Shifter then expressed interest in exploring a possible non-binary identification before now being of the mindset that the only way for him to identify now is as a feminine gay man using he/him pronouns.

Oh wow, that's awesome that he's still growing and changing in his views! I thought I had heard about him identifying as nonbinary so I was surprised in this video when Blaire described him as "he him." I wonder if he has faced backlash from his fanbase or from TRAs for fully ending trans identification.

Despite being in obvious emotional distress about the fallout of his transition and English not being his first language, he is very articulate and blunt in how he describes his experience without veering into being sensationalistic.

Yes. I noticed that about him, too; that's a good way of putting it. He is very straightforward and says what needs to be said in a way that captures the full extent of damage but that does not, as you said, veer into the sensational.

I also note that Shape Shifter is from a Muslim country, so it's not surprising that he would want to be viewed as something other than a gay man.

Yup. Definitely worth observing. I do worry sometimes that extremists on the left downplay just how hated same-sex attraction is in certain Muslim countries...
