My eternal Contra take. 

Yes I watch every video she makes. Still. I try to like them. I try.

Bluntly, she's advertising to the kind of boys that would have included me if I'd not transitioned. I hate that but it's something to keep in mind.

That being said, she doesn't care about the damager her statements cause outside of that, and her persona demands she not or else she'd loose cred with the target she's got.

@Draekos

My take on Contrapoints: she's not talking to us anymore, she's talking to the TERFs and non-trans among us about trans issues. She took the full course and opted to try to teach Trans 101 to assholes.

The only way to talk to those folks is to speak to them at their level. Just seeing someone like her stoop to that level, even as a performance, is hard to watch. It feels like losing an ally every time. So I don't watch her videos anymore. :x

@mawr yeah I may join you in that.

The roommates put it on for the last two, so I dunno. I think there's now another thing to have me politely find a reason to leave the room.
