    I haven’t watched Contrapoints for a loooong time, but she was always my least favourite Breadtuber. She had this sort of “Trans people should try to pass if we want to be accepted” video if I recall correctly and that’s when I noped the fuck away from her videos.

    Oh yeah she has done that and more. She has the most libbed up trajectory. She did the voting video if I remember, where she opines how revolution is bad and leads to “China tiananmen square 1989 mao great leap forward 1000 billion dead”. And blames tankies for trump winning prior.

    Anyway she also did hillary girlboss docu and gleefully bantered with hilldawg and Chelsea. Awesome.

    Apparently gaza is mega complicated for her to decide which side is bad .

      Ok now I get why people say she’s dismissive of nonbinary people. Trans people are supposed to pass? Like I’m nonbinary and agender. What am I supposed to pass as? A rock?

          i’m really glad everyone is so sweet and considerate. I often don’t even feel trans enough or that I’m not doing anything, since most people don’t even know I’m nonbinary unless I tell them. I’m not on HRT or anything and don’t have discrimination from my immediate family (extended family is a different story). All I’ve really faced is that coworkers and random people don’t understand or believe me, they say I’m just making stuff up. But I know who I am and so do my comrades, so I’m really grateful for that. At most I sometimes feel like I’m “supposed” to present androgynous, but why? I’d rather just be comfortable and present how I feel like. I mostly dress as a mid-90s lesbian, like with skinny jeans and boots lol.

          My biggest enby victory so far is a time when I went to jury duty. I’m registered in the county with my gender as “Other” and so the judge had literally no idea how to address me. Kept going back and forth between “Mister” and “Miss” and that kind of ruled.
