Yeah, his being trans makes it worse. He's clearly been conditioned to see the world outside his bubble as dangerous. The show has scenes (clearly scripted) where someone walks by and yells a random slur, or his TiM friends get 'phobic' messages on their dating apps. He's made it clear on so many occasions that he doesn't have the emotional energy to be front and center doing 'advocacy' work like his Mommy and brother, yet every intimate detail about his life is on display for the 'haters'. It must feel incredibly vulnerable.

Jesus. I'm aware of Jazz but never watched the show. That sounds like an even more fucked up, nightmare version of The Truman Show. Jazz might know that he's on a tv show but even still it sounds like his entire reality is being carefully crafted around him.

Genuinely seems like hell to me. He just needs to be left alone, I can't imagine the pressure is great for what is likely already poor mental health either. You HAVE to live up to it or you're letting down trans people everywhere by showing it's not a good route. You HAVE to be happy about it for the same reason.
