Moved this here because I watched the rest of the video and he gets shitty at the end.

How do we get people like Norm to stop being credulous about flawed science and fucking bigotry.

His larger point with the video is more interesting but it gets lost in anti-trans shit at the end

From what I understand he wrote that transphobic article in 2023 shortly before October 7th and I remember thinking “okay he’s gonna spiral into this kind of person” but the events following October 7th seemed to really reenergize him and I haven’t seen him say anything chuddy like he did in that article since. He’s been really good with staying on topic.

Since he never apologized for it I suspect those are still his beliefs and I bet we will start hearing more rhetoric like that from him when/if things “stabilize” in the levant. I hope in my heart of hearts that he has noticed that so many of the people internationally that support Palestine are trans and that makes him reconsider but I really doubt he would be swayed by that personally.

He's not on social media, and the coverage of queer people in Palestinian solidarity protests that he is likely to see is obviously no good at all. My hopes aren't very high.
