Hmm? Hallucinations (Now banned) is in the box for it?
Oh yeah, they changed their name...? Or something? Huh weird. Still, trash is taken out now! :)

On second thought, I'll edit that as well. And just to make it clear it was a fucking shit take and I do apologise.

Wheew, there have been some learning moments in this one. It looks like a couple of people have actually taken that opportunity so good for them.
Congratulations PhilosophyTube!

Watching you get banned is almost like watching you die, which is odd because I usually don't enjoy watching people die.
Dear god what happened to the last page ?
Love when transphobes fail at transphobia ... like the media LOVES to use the pic of a trans man being forced to compete against women as a pic of what would happen if they allow trans women to compete against women xD
LOL

For the record im trans and i think that God_of_Phwoar's post was honest and instructive about how cis people can and should recognize and push back against internalized transphobia. I don't love people being banned for constructive efforts to model the processes behind efforts to improve.
You can do all that without admitting you're annoyed and disappointed someone is trans and without thanking a troll for comparing coming out to dying
The very first step to overcoming transphobia is to not express it in public.
We had just gotten through wrapping up an argument with a troll and he walked into to say thank him for posting.
It's not that they "died," it's that they have not truly been alive until now.
The most ironic thing about this is that your ban could have been avoided if you just watched the video first.
Her videos have been an utter joy to watch over the past year or so for me.
Congrats to her for finding happiness.

So happy for Abigail <3 Philosophy Tube has been one of my favorite channels from recent times.
I dunno, people gotta process this very personal thing happening to someone else? Haha
And great news for Abigail! To feel comfortable in the skin and who you are is nothing but liberating.
I'm genuinely thoroughly happy for her. When you're empathetic enough, you understand that this kind of thing isn't about you, never has, and never will, sadness has no place whatsoever here. Understand that this woman can now be herself, can now live authentically, understand that this woman is now incredibly happy and excited to share that with the world, and that it has brightened and bettered her life in numerous and profound ways.
This only, should be enough for anybody to topple any kind of feelings of sadness you may feel, they have no place here, and they never will, because the world doesn't revolve around you in this particular instance. If you do feel those feelings, question them, do some introspection to understand why they exist, and more importantly, why you feel they should be more important than all the incredibly positive feelings involved here. (Hint: this is probably because one might have a tendency of being self-centered, and that should be challenged, as that can be changed if one works on it).
Be happy for her. Share her joy and bask in the glory of someone finally being aligned with herself, because it is joyful, happy and beautiful.
Any coming out story is a story of incredible joy and happiness to me, and hers makes no difference.
Much love to her, I'll be looking forward to what's next on her journey!

Congratulations to Abigail, and also congratulations for that absolutely fantastic "u no trans woman" tweet from earlier. Can't make that one up.

I've been enjoying her work for awhile,
and I'm glad she's able to open up. She deserves to be herself
and have had a little schoolyard crush for years
So happy for her! I recently started watching. My boyfriend pulled up her video she did on Barret and I've been catching up ever since.
Loved the use of Blackstar and the album imagery too.

Major congrats to Abigail. First time watching her channel, though I recognized her voice right away. She must have done voice over work for other videos in the past.
Love how she constructs an argument/story and then how she cites her sources off to the side. Whole video was exceptionally written on top of all the other good things this thread has covered.

Congrats to Abigail! I actually haven’t heard of her before or seen her content (as far as I’m aware). I’ll take a look at those videos that were recommended throughout the thread
Really hope this puts her in a better place, her video on depression back in the day was a rough one.
Congrats to her. I only very recently become aware of her channel. She has some really informative videos on subjects that I really knew very little about.
Really enjoyed Rhys in the first part of the video as well, really nice performance brought a tear to my eye, that final bow before fading away and then Abigail appears it was really lovely.

I'm not much of a gamer anymore but her video on the gaming industry is good.

Damn, happy for her. I'm sure it wasn't easy to have a public presence on the internet all while struggling with coming to terms with your own gender (especially when you live in TERFland).
I haven't watched a ton of her videos but what I've watched was high quality. Gotta watch her coming out video tonight.

Abigail has always been awesome, I'm very happy she has been able to do this. The courage it must take to come out on such a huge stage - while she faces everything from full-on overt active bigtory to cis-folk playing victim and trying to make her feel bad for it - is inspiring.
