I know nothing about Contrapoints, so can't comment on the individual, but I have a lot of compassion for people who get swept up in this. Doctors (particularly in the USA) and social media specifically discourage people who are mentally unwell to think things through. They are often vulnerable and sold a pack of lies.Maybe I'm an awful person but I find it hard to feel sad. Surely the fact that your dating pool will be reduced to the size of a postage stamp is something that should be taken into consideration as part of the risk assessment on whether to transition or not.
I generally really like Contrapoints even though I don't necessarily agree with her opinions on everything all of the time. She's constantly getting "cancelled" for being honest about the reality of living as a transgender person.I follow Contrapoints on IG and was really surprised to see this this morning. I wish more people with influence in trans world would be honest about the pitfalls instead of pretending it's rainbows and puppies all the time.
You can’t scold people into wanting you - that is spot on.I generally really like Contrapoints even though I don't necessarily agree with her opinions on everything all of the time. She's constantly getting "cancelled" for being honest about the reality of living as a transgender person.
There's a lot of theory online that "Abigail Thorn" (another YouTuber in the same kind of genre who just recently decided they're a trans woman, also used to be best friends with Contrapoints) is the person who sexually assaulted her and is obsessed with her. They're trying to copy her entire video style and it's really cringey. He announced he was trans one day and immediately started calling himself the most famous trans person in the UK even though I'd put money 99% of this thread have never even heard of him. Contrapoints has totally refused to comment or join in the hugbox "stunning and brave" comments which I think says a lot.
I recommend the YouTube channel, they do have a few videos around gender and being trans but a lot of the topics they talk about are unrelated and their videos are always really gorgeous to look at and well-researched. Even when I disagree, I still really enjoy them and they're usually quite funny. There's a great one about incels:I had a look at Contrapoints Instagram and he is definitely more sensible than most.
This Twitter thread is doing the rounds
Where are the stats to say trans people are being murdered?!?
This tweet sums it up perfectlyThe issue is that Cade was quoted as a source in the BBC article, when the slightest bit of background research should have disqualified her on the basis of both her actions (perpetrator of sexual assaults) and her words (legitimate hate speech).
The BBC used her as a source. The 'TRAs' aren't appointing her as a spokesperson - she was featured in that article various people were fawning over earlier in the thread.This tweet sums it up perfectly
I can't stand Thorn. It's partly the smugness. The absolute cheek to refer to himself as the 'princess of TERF island' 2 seconds after he came out, when someone like say, India Willoughby is probably far more well known than him.I generally really like Contrapoints even though I don't necessarily agree with her opinions on everything all of the time.

If you don't think it's a problem that someone who's admitted to sexual assaults against women and who writes screeds of hate speech about trans women is used in a BBC article whose whole purpose seems to be to paint trans women as sexual predators - then I'm not sure what to say to you.The BBC may have used her as a source (possibly because many other women are afraid to speak up) but that doesn't negate the many problems with gender ideology. You can be an awful person and still make valid points about trans identified males coercing lesbians into sleeping with them
