I'm very aware of this Shapeshifter person because he played a part in cancelling TT Exulansic's YouTube channel when she did an analysis/commentary on the reality of his SRS and he didn't like hearing the truth so he flagged her channel and got others to join in. I'm sure it wasn't the only thing that got her completely terminated but it was the first.

Anyway it's clear that he was sold a lie and is seeing the error of his ways. His story is sad but it is what it is. I think it's great that he's owning his own life choices and not fully blaming others, no one force him to get SRS after all. But he's taking self-responsibility and that's noble of him. What's more noble is that he's spreading the message to others, warning the youth to not go through with it, that they will regret it as much as he does and this is important so I'm thankful that he's being upfront and honest about it.

That said, I didn't watch the interview because I'll be honest, I can't listen to Blaire's fake "woman" voice for prolonged periods of time but I saw a breakdown of it and I think it's hilarious how Blaire really tried to push that he and Shapeshifter are not the same when they are. Both are effeminate gay men though one had the snip and came to his senses, the other is still living in denial. And don't give me the "Blaire says he's male" argument, it doesn't mater that he acknowledges himself as male when he's still insisting that he's anything but a man and "transwoman" doesn't count, women are not a subclass of their own sex and "transwoman" implies they are a kind of woman which they're not. The day Blaire accepts what he truly and stops callimg himself anything but a man is when my view on him will change but as is, he's just as delusional as the other trans-identified men as far as I'm concerned.

Back to Shapeshifter, I wish him luck. I hope he has a good support network who's helping him out try to live life one step at a time because I can't imagine living that way knowing I can't go back and undo what I did to an important part of my body...

Oh wow, I didn't know about that. I've not watched hardly any of that youtube channel but I've seen it linked here from time to time.

I completely agree, could not have said it better. I am really glad that Blaire is using his platform to spread awareness of detransitioners, but he is still in denial.

Yeah TT Exulansic mainly did videos on the realities of SRS and she would sometimes commentate on people who had that done and were experiencing complications and she'd commentate on what was happening with their bodies. ShapeShifter was one of the people she did a video on when he was talking about the complications he was having with his inverted penis. He didn't like it and flagged her video calling her "transphobic" and asked his fans to flag her channel.

Exactly, his platforming these people doesn't make him any less in denial himself. It doesn't make him any more "true trans" than the others and I think people need to remember this.
