Unfortunately she’s also a bit of a transmed, enbiephobe and translesbophobe sometimes. Like, i get that she’s called out Blaire White over and over again for her bs, or that she’s made an entire video debunking Ray Blanchard’s quackery, and these are actually good takedowns of transmedicalist concepts, so i don’t think she’s ideologically committed on this truscum shit, but she’s got a ton of brainworms and internalized bigotry from the time she posted on /tttt/ and there’s moments where it really shows how deeply she has been harmed by that and how it still infests her views on gender in subtle, but awful ways. I didn’t notice that when i watched these vids as an egg and had no idea about struggle sessions within the trans community, but i went back to her Cancelling and Shame vids some time ago to see if there was something i had missed when pre-transition me originally saw them and they’re full of yikes moments, it’s just that these moments are very easy to miss when you haven’t seen much of her stuff.

I hate to say that, because she is talented, she’s funny, she’s charismatic, she’s as smart as somebody can be who’s stuck at “taking Judith Butler’s early ideas about gender as drag literal and ignorig that they moved beyond that later after they talked to trans people about this and understood concepts like gender identity”, but there’s moments where she sneaks in real nuclear takes.
