MrBeast is pushing back against all the transphobia that has been in his community lately.
This all centers around MrBeast’s friend Chris Tyson, who has appeared in MrBeast’s videos, because he tweeted earlier this month that he has been receiving hormone replacement therapy. Chris has not come out as any specific identity yet, but in his Twitter bio says he uses any pronouns. Adding in a separate post: “Informed consent HRT saved my and many others' lives. The hurdles [gender nonconforming] people have to jump through to get life-saving gender-affirming healthcare in a 1st world country is wild to me. Just let people make informed decisions about their own bodies.” And explaining that it was initially very nerve wracking to go public with this choice, but seeing so many people learn more about HRT has been amazing. But Insider did a report where they found several videos and tweets mocking Chris. As well as other negative posts saying they “hate the new Chris,” some even bringing up Chris’s family in these posts. A Rolling Stone report finding videos where people said Chris was “ruining” MrBeast’s content, and another video where someone suggested someone should “beat some sense into Chris.” Though it seems some action has been taken, as Insider reported that TikTok removed a handful of videos about Chris, though it appears they didn’t do so until Insider reached out about them. And today, we saw MrBeast chiming in after someone shared a YouTube video where the title suggests that Chris will become a “nightmare” for MrBeast. And there, MrBeast said: “Yeah, this is getting absurd. Chris isn’t my ‘nightmare’ he’s my friend and things are fine.”
