Do any other DUers follow Shaun?

He's super brilliant.

This latest video is about trans hate and Kellie-Jay, also known as Posie Parker.

Two other really good youtubers I follow are Contrapoints and Three Arrows. These brainiacs have really helped me through the pandemic and made me smarter and more reflective.

was inspired by the post about the haircutter who posted on fb that trans people should seek a pet groomer.

by the absolute brilliance of these people. I don't even recall how I came to learn about them, but now that I have, I never miss a video.

Also With his latest video, Shaun recommended 2 more YouTubers that seem to be worth checking out: Mia Mulder and JohnTheDuncan. Their videos are also thought-provoking

I hope Shaun didn't give the impression that all radical feminists are TERFs; Both radical feminists Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin, are/were respectively supportive of trans people.

i know the video is quite long. his target is this kellie or posey person. he also has no love for JK Rowling due to her anti-trans position. Checking out the 2 suggestions, thank you

but haven't yet watched anything by Shaun or ThreeArrows. Thanks for the links! Natalie's a polymath. Her videos are edifying and always entertaining.

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull's psuedonym seems to be a play on the name of actress Parker Posey, one of my favorites in the Christopher Guest mockumentaries.

her full length movies with real production values, the characters, the costumes and makeup, and then she brings a level of scholarship that puts me in awe of her. She's amazing and I am so glad I happened upon her even though I don't recall how or exactly when. At least 3 years ago. It is possible that Shaun or Three Arrows, because of their content, caused the algorithm to put Contrapoints into the offerings on youtube. or vice versa
