    I also appreciate the thoughtfulness he showed when he found out someone he had recently collaborated with had made transphobic comments in the past.

    You’re never going to appease everyone, and I appreciate that he shared the thinking that led him to his decision. I just regret not finding out about the incident until like a week after I ordered her book.

      Wow. I’m in sales and customer service and I must say that’s a fantastic note. They clearly care about their viewers, their customers, and spend the time working to earn their business. Bravo!

        Jill Bearup, a Youtuber and stage/film combat enthusiast. She echoed some shitty transphobe rhetoric in a blog post years ago and deleted them. Tom asked her about it after others made him aware and he gave a very reserved description of her reply that tells me she still holds views that he doesn’t agree with or want to be associated with.

        ETA: After donating what he estimated would be the proceeds of that collaboration video to the Trevor Project, he ultimately decided to take the video down altogether.
