Hardline GCs have been attacking Buck for a long time now. Like some of them have been going after him for years now. These attacks aren't new at all and misgendering has been among the mildest forms they take. He just refuses to learn that these transphobes will never change.

He knows he burned too many bridges with most other trans people at this point and he doesn't want to take responsibility for his past actions so he's stuck trying to convince GCs to try to be nice to him, which obviously hasn't been working out well for him.

Some GCs have been telling him how much they hate him and think he's part of the problem for at least two years now. He's had plenty of time to figure out that these people loath him and want nothing to do with him, even as a GC trans token.

Hardline GCs call him a "groomer" and accuse him of encouraging "young girls" to transition. They say his porn is making teens trans (and they've done hours of "research" watching his porn to come to this conclusion. What is it with GCs & trans porn?). I know he's seen this shit.

But he's refused to listen or see how eliminationist the GC movement really is. Many GCs won't even use the word "trans" because they think it's an "attack on reality" & he's trying to get them to use his pronouns? Dude, they think you're part of the "gender industry".

It's depressing to see someone refuse to learn from their mistakes and keep digging themselves deeper into a bad situation of their own creation. Like sure, Buck has internalized transphobia obviously but he's also just an asshole who won't take responsibility for his actions.

I remember all the years he set himself up as a gatekeeper of what counted as a "real" trans man and how people should transition (he was critical of transmascs holding fundraisers because it was "unmanly") and it seems like he can't admit that he fucked up with that approach.

He thought he was being a trans "voice of reason" but really he was helping create the conditions for an anti-trans hate movement to explode once the Right decided to attack trans people. Now he still can't admit he fucked up, even after so many people have turned on him.
