I love the other commenter on the video saying they watched this on Peertube instead to get away from Youtube's vitriol.

Another thing of note is that the dislike ratio correlates with the poll that cited that 6/10 americans believe that trans females should not participate in sports with 66% disliking this trans supportive video. Please folks keep speaking up for decency out there we need the allies to change the public perception on this.

didn't know what you meant at first, but now I see it's a comment on the TubeFedere site:

You know, we hope that it's actually put there legitimately. The one problem with Peertube at the moment is a bunch of people putting up fake accounts that pretend to be the channel and thus stealing their views and not allowing them to engage legitimately.

We're not fans of this and think that it might stop channels moving there legitimately which is, we think, what we should want.

At least the channel says unofficial mirror.

That's good. We've seen many which didn't say that.

This is definitely one of John Oliver's masterpieces.

I hope the video makes an impact. It really is so sad how many get fooled into transphobia by this political bait :(

I really appreciate the videos he makes, he seems to hit quite frequently. Unlike me in sports
