Youtube keeps recommending me videos of detransitioners (hexbear.net)

Also videos from gender criticals. It's so incredibly upsetting. One thing I've noticed is that there is simultaneously a claim that we are being lied to, and yet when trans content creators talk about their surgery complications it's used as ammunition against us and our care. Which is it? I have always found that trans creators are fully open about the risks and complications that can happen from surgery and yet I still desperately yearn to have it even though I know recovery is going to suck. I have to hear this GC rhetoric from my parents and it breaks my heart. I just want to live my life as the woman I was always meant to be. To grow old and die as a woman. To finally have a chance at happiness. Why do we have to justify our existence? Why can't they just leave us alone?

I'm not gonna defend YouTube, but are you all clicking on "not interested" and "don't recommend channel" for videos you hate? Sorry if this doesn't solve your problem.

I'm not trans and don't watch trans videos, but... Yeah. All the time. I get random disgusting videos, or some random home video of someone in south Asia clearly not meant to be watched around the world, videos about cooking meat (im vegan and follow several vegan channels) etc. So I'm not sure that button does anything at this point.

i mean, not to be a bummer, but if she's living with transphobic parents and they're accessing youtube from the same IP, their watching habits might be polluting her recommendations. it's stupid, but i've had it happen to me plenty of times with roommates' interests.

Nah i dont live with my parents. Just got recommended a string of detransitioner/GC videos for whatever reason. I think its because ive been watching videos from trans creators and the algorithm clusters them together since they both discuss transition. Its very shitty

I do so constantly, and youtube still thinks its a good idea to recommend me PragerU and other reactionary crap. They're really pushing the detrans stuff lately.

Yes i do
