I Have Seen Two Martial Arts Students Come Out as Trans; there will be others, Some at a High Level.

Why have you, a bigot, subscribed to my channel?

You make lots of great points and I agree with everything. Great video. A couple of thoughts I had while watching were 1) since the root of much of transphobia and transmisogyny is just regular misogyny and martial arts has a big misogyny problem, I expect that it's inevitable trans participation is going to become an issue the community has to face before long. It's like a time bomb. 2) I would not be surprised if a lot of trans women have been drawn to martial arts. Not only because, like you said, it can be a way to affirm their masculinity (which trans women often try to do before transitioning) but because especially in traditional styles and soft styles, it offers a much softer form of masculinity than mainstream. It's still combative and physical and can even be competitive, but there is an emphisis on tempering that with control and gentleness and I think that would appeal to trans women while they try to convince themselves of how manly they are in a way the rampant and even toxic machismo in contemporary boxing, BJJ, and MMA wouldn't.

My junior and senior year of high school was at a vocational school where I learned how cars worked and to fix them…..

I think your worldview is extremely distorted by social media. Cis is a slur. Language evolves, right? Did you learn that in high school or no?

I'm sorry you have not yet managed to comprehend anything you couldn't easily learn in the first year of high school. It is possible for you to exercise your brain so you can understand nuance, I suggest you start by reading Dr Seuss.
