You can make your entire life be about shouting about the relationships and networking and collaborations of people who never sought nor needed your permission to do a thing, and will never, ever hear or read your criticisms --

Where will you get your sense of purpose in your life, when the reason for your sense of purpose is taken away?

Buck Angel is not "truscum". Buck Angel's acknowledged the existence of non-binary people and voiced respect for them -- even if in the past he made statements that didn't respect non-binary people. No, I'm not going to point you at the statements; They're easy enough to find, and the purpose of this comment is to teach you something:

You can either allow yourself to remain ignorant and react to every rumour and innuendo, and be spurred into flying into a rage by anyone who knows that you're ignorant and can be pushed into a rage,

or you can stop holding and espousing strong opinions about what you don't understand, and go out and actually find out about things and people, and stop taking the word of an outragemonger mill machine run by wretched and jealous people.

Natalie's made several videos and statements in support of individual enbies and enbies in general. Criticism or Bullying (which was published 3 years ago) is pretty unequivocal in her support and respect for enbies. She's made statements on her livestreams about how self-ID is proper and should be recognised by society and governments.

I moderate /r/ContraPoints -- I do 75-80% of the work on the subreddit -- and I'm 100% to the top of my teeth fed up with this toxic crab-bucket rumourmill, straight out of every textbook about how women bully other women. If Natalie were remotely anti-enby, or promoting a doctrine of transmedicalism or truscummery, I'd have resigned with a long, detailed, and incisive analysis of exactly who, where, how, when, and why Natalie had betrayed the community and my trust.

PLEASE stop repeating unsubstantiated vicious gossip. PLEASE. It's actively harmful of other people.
