P.S.: I followed the link for the full version of the podcast at Trans-Atlantic (https://youtu.be/SOauFX2AnRI). The short clip we were presented with here and on Imigur (however itâs spelt), was edited and cut-up to fuck from much, much longer material. The edit totally changed what was really said on the show and was hacked around in such a way that its meaning became nonsense. I now regret defending the (male) caller on trans issues because he wasnât saying what we thought he was saying. Not that many viewers understood or agreed about what was being said anyway. It was all about clicks and likes instead. Sadly, I do feel tricked and a bit foolish now, being honest. When one listens to the whole section of the podcast, the caller, whilst (on the whole) well-meaning, is obviously a bit of a simpleton. Not the right word, I know. His accent/voice sure didnât help dissipate that conclusion, poor sod. It was embarrassing listening because heâs, clearly, somewhat backwards and innocent in that âmental defects from birthâ sort of meaning. Basically, he personally does not like surprises. At all. Or anything intended to have shock value in the realm of human body modification, expansion or self-mutilation. My guess is that he doesnât like shocking television shows or films or false advertising either (but thatâs just a guess). Turns out, he says he doesnât like âtrapsâ or âshe-malesâ (yes, I know), yet simultaneously doesnât mind trans people at all â but his delicate sensitivities and Downâs syndrome-like sensibilities didnât care for surprises or shocks. Whether that was to do with a disability such as a pre-existing nervous condition or congenital mental disability, weâll never know now. Iâm disappointed with myself mostly, for believing someone I trust would present even a thirty second clip as an honest summary rather than manipulated controversy to centre a spotlight. Anyone can do that. The idea is to stay above that by being real and honest. Particularly to yourself. But Iâm also quite disappointed by the fact that â what was intended to be a little fun â actually turned into a sad little episode which shamed everyone involved. Everyone. Including all the genuine commenters on Patreon and Imigur who reacted (vigorously, in some cases), to the OPâs misleading clip, just as I did too. Please, please, if you absolutely have to edit, make clips *longer* to maintain the context. Or, preferably, donât edit a short statement (at all), let it stand. Thank you so much. âWith great/some power comesâŠâ, etc. đȘ

The caller specifically says that they donât care whether âsheâ is a âheâ â and (rightly) complains that heâs being pushed (by idiots in the Imigur comments), to innately care whatâs between someoneâs legs. The male caller is an ally. Perhaps because he sounds like a rube on the moonshine at 9am, I fear the lady on the left of our screen assumed that he was dissing the (anonymous⊠hmmm) cosplayer when, in fact, he was lamenting some idiot commenter on Imagursâ comments who *was* pointing at gonads instead of getting on with enjoying the cosplay. When weâre on the defensive all the time, sometimes we miss something or someone actually saying something supportive or nice or plain accepting:â Presenter: âSo you had a wank to a cosplayer dressed as your favourite female character and youâre stressed to find out they have a penis?â Caller: âNO!â The caller had stated that they didnât care. Itâs a shame that clip was cut short (edited), before we saw/heard the presenter apologise for assuming the wrong thing instead of listening â which is, after all, the entire point of a fucking podcast: listening.

The caller is an ally. They made the positive comment, and have been down voted by people misgendering and the caller doesnt give a shit. That's how I understood it.
