On a side note, Kyle from Secular Talk is based and tells like it is. Primarily grass roots funded and has been pushing candid leftist talking points for a long time. I always recommend him for coverage of US politics when I get a chance.

Used to watch every video of his, but I watch him more sporadically now since his awkward tweet where he said it was alright to deadname Caitlyn Jenner because of her politics.

Him leaving the tweet up doesn't bother me considering that he's stated he leaves all of them up for transparency even if he no longer agrees with them, but what does annoy me is how he's never gone back to correct himself. I know he's not an outright transphobe, but that still doesn't sit right with me.

He repeatedly advocates and speaks up for marginalized groups, particularly migrants and LGBTQ people every chance he gets, specially because Trump regime is actively hostile towards them. The tweet is poor taste, short sided and I wish he had gone back and reflected on his response, but he is definitely not a transphobe, and is most definitely an ally.

Not the same, and doesn't justify the tweet, but the sentiment reminds me when Jennifer Welch said that Republicans should be banned from eating from Mexican restaurants because, well, they're fucking racist:
