Just noticed that they’ve given the position to non-binary Jake Edwards who is a very popular YouTuber - once the other half of Alex Bertie (famous trans man who wrote a book about their own transition)
The following is a link to a recent one of their vids. Interesting opinions on Kink presence at Pride Marches at about 5 minutes in (and other frank discussions so don’t watch in presence of children or those that might not want to hear discussions of a sexual nature) Generally flagging it up because they’re extremely popular amongst the younger trans community and particularly young trans men or young women who are investigating. Some interesting videos in the past on their own dysphoria and how having ‘top surgery’ actually exacerbated their ‘bottom’ dysphoria. Has also documented their own double mastectomy.
If you have a child who is immersing themselves in this world then this person is a high profile figure. Loads of very young kids watching their videos/following them on Twitter; lots of kids desperate for top surgery looking up to them.
Interesting choice for Mermaids. I hope they support them well in this role because I don’t think they have a huge amount of life/work experience outside of their trans/YouTube ‘celebrity’. Quite articulate but it actually makes me sad when I look back at their videos from about 6 years ago (on their YouTube channel) before their beard growth.
