Holy shit. He's mentioned going on a political journey and becoming more aware a few times but this fucking whips to see. I will have to watch this when I have a chance, I find him (them? Am I misremembering that he's not cis?) quite good to watch even if he rarely says anything groundbreaking. Just seems like a genuinely nice person.
He reminds me of myself, in a sense. I'm a bit older and wasn't really educated on trans people. I just kind of thought of using people's pronouns/acknowledging their gender identity as a polite thing to do, even if (in my understanding at the time) it wasn't "literally true" that people had their claimed gender identity. Finding out I was wrong was, genuinely, a relief. I didn't like "lying" a whole lot but certainly thought it was better than hurting people by refusing to talk to and about them the way they needed so learning that people's identities are legit was great. I feel like GMS has expressed similar sentiments.
