    Is it just me or does just about every YouTube channel by a trans person become a YouTube channel about trans related societal issues?

      Well yeah, they’re constantly getting death threats. Being a well known trans person is in itself radicalizing because of all the shit to wade through

      The algorithm tends to fight this kind of content. So if a trans person succeeds in the algorithm, they likely already had in mind that they wanted to educate about how they can empathize with transgender people.

      What’s with the downvotes? If you think I said anything bad about trans people or trans issues, that’s all in your head.

      Some YouTubers I know who are trans or who have come out as trans since I started watching and are still doing their own thing: GameChamp3000 (game challenge videos and recently some trivia), DaThings (YTP style videos), Shammy/Joy (game review/critique), and probably a few others that aren’t coming to mind right now. I’d argue Jim (Stephanie) Sterling hasn’t really changed though trans issues do come up more often. I haven’t watched Philosophy Tube recently but I do believe she still does videos on general philosophical concepts.
