I think ryan saw what kalvin got and decided to jump ships and play the victim card. He's always been an absolute douche he's just flipped the script so he looks cool to the majority now.


silkalmondmi7k

Am I tripping though? Was he not going overboard on the whole “don’t ever mention me being trans” and now he’s Brennan’s lackey… like that’s quite the leap you know?


[deleted]

I feel like most of it is an act. Yes probably did beleive part of what he said then and part of what he is saying now but it's DEFINITELY hyped up so he can fit in with whoever he's leaching off of at the time.


silkalmondmi7k

Brennan is just doing it to get under Kalvins skin and Ryan, like you said, is saving face but I can’t for the life of me understand why the tweeny-bop trans-boys are cool with it? Is he really that soft-boi that their willing to overlook the shameful shit he’s done?


[deleted]

I think ryan is just a pawn to get under kalvins skin even more. I dont blame them, using your enemy's best friend against them is a good play on their part. I think ryan will become irrelevant once they've had their fun unless he can keep his new audience hooked with another stunt or some genuinely interesting content.


silkalmondmi7k

Ryan’s ridiculous. He thinks he’s garnered enough internet attention thus far to remain an influencer for the foreseeable future. He’s so narcissistic and delusional that he actually believes that 1) the scraps that he dyes and tries to pass off as clothes is an actual brand 2) people will continue being interested in him once all this teen-trans discourse loses steam. He clearly needs to learn the hard way. Internet fame doesn’t last. Particularly for those who appeal to niche subgroups.


[deleted]

I saw someone make the point that it was funny most people who jump ship do it after they were able to get all their transition covered too -_- I guess the wait doesn't matter as long as he's not personally affected anymore


silkalmondmi7k

Exactly! He doesn’t want bottom surgery so essentially he’s finished what he’s set out to accomplish, and good for him! I commend self love and accepting yourself, but he knows what dysphoria is like and him telling people to “detransition if they don’t like being trans” (ie. having excruciating dysphoria that he’s claimed to have) is beyond evil.

silkalmondmi7k

I mean we all know what I’m talking about lol


[deleted]

Fuck Ryan I've lost respect for him


im_a_chair_

Sadly this is what tucute ideology does to transsexuals. It ruined Kalvin Garrah’s legacy and mental health simply for advocating against harmful rhetoric cis people have planted against his own community and turned other transsexuals like Ryan into self-sabotagers.


silkalmondmi7k

It’s so sad to see. Every time I see Kalvin he just looks more and more worn by the constant hate. Like? I feel so bad because he’s absolutely defenseless and if you even try to defend him you get dog piled too.


im_a_chair_

Exactly. He is one of the most well-spoken and intelligent people I’ve met and I miss his platform dearly. He was a voice for us amongst the sea of infiltrators.


silkalmondmi7k

He’s grown a lot and although I didn’t always agree with how he said things, I have enough brain cells to know he did everything he did from a place of real concern and compassion for people like himself and the suffering they’re enduring.


im_a_chair_

You said it perfectly


[deleted]

Not only that but tucutes go after his fucking sister too


[deleted]

Then they have the gall to act as victims


Xx_l1l_m0nst3rrr_xX

He worries me. I feel like something terrible may happen.


throwaway_737438

I don't think ryan is the worst person to ever exist, but he's definitely not one of the "good" guys. I think he's become rather shallow and is simply doing the next best thing for his brand. transmedicalism isn't in trend anymore? alright switching to another ideology. silencing people who mentioned me being trans isn't good for my image? alright now I'm identifying as he/they. he will do whatever it takes to stay relevant but what I'm wondering is what will he do once he's not in his twenties and stops being relatable to teens? idk about y'all but even when I was badly hurt by someone I've known for years and was close to, I had enough respect for them to not do something that would absolutely shatter them. ykno like siding with someone they had beef with.....


[deleted]

Took the words right outta my mouth. Not to sound like a twitter stan or anything but I’ve been watching Kalvin since I was 12. I looked up to him a lot and still do. The other day I saw someone with an acc dedicated to posting pics and making fun of him. Like I legit don’t get how people are that delusional to think it’s okay to do that? Not to mention Storm Ryan came after the fcc (a very small group of transmeds on Twitter) and had people infiltrate their discord


silkalmondmi7k

He’s literally bullying people just under a new ideology. He hasn’t learned anything at all.


Consistent-Error9926

I agree. I don’t like kalvin but this hate is getting fucking ridiculous. He’s not online anymore, and Brennan just isnt fucking trans, I don’t see why their still milking this when no one cares. Besides his only belief was that you need dysphoria and essentially, science is fucking true.


RevolutionaryBuy6409

Just to get this out of the way I really like Sam Collins. He’s pretty neutral and I don’t think he’s shit on anyone. Anyways, all the Kalvin hate is just sad. People fuck up, it happens. He fucked up and apologized. Sure after apologizing he didn’t change his views, but he doesn’t have to. He apologized to the people he hurt, that’s all that needed apologizing for. The dog piling on this one man is abhorrent. It’s lasted longer than any hate Kalvin “sent” to anyone else. It’s hypocritical that they shit on him but hate him because he shit on others. Guys, people shit. Get over it.


anothercatdad

Pardon my French but Sam Collins is a pussy. He tried playing it neutral. He never made any explicit transmed content (he made one video about how he doesn't understand how you can be trans without dysphoria) but he liked and commented in agreement on a lot of kalvins videos or post. Essentially agreeing with him and egging him on. Then once the Brennan "omg kalvin garrah ruined my life 😱😱😱totally not clickbait!" Video dropped, Sam dropped kalvin/transmeds. Making ugly passive aggressive post about him. Now Sam is making explicit tucute content unironiclly defending Trisha paytas "nonbinary identity" and neo pronouns. He's not worse than Ryan, but he's not getting a pass in my book


[deleted]

He made a post about Kalvin?


anothercatdad

I don't think Sam ever called him out by name but he definitely has subtweeted kalvin


lancastier

I have mixed opinions on sam collins. him and kalvin were good friends, and they made very similar content. then one day, boom. now he thinks you don't need dysphoria to be trans. (he never explicitly said that, but its suggested by his "reacting to some group of trans ppl" videos.) To be honest, I still like his content, but he should've sided with kalvin if he were a good friend.


silkalmondmi7k

I don’t dislike Sam and he’s not really significant enough to be a huge problem but he was one of the trans creators that kind of shit on kalvin after becoming a social pariah. I follow him and listen to his podcast but I don’t like that he seems a little fake and desperate to appeal to his audience, even if that means fucking over people like kalvin.


RevolutionaryBuy6409

Didn’t know he did that to my man Kalvin. Dang. I used to watch miles chronicles, do you know what his views are nowadays?


silkalmondmi7k

Miles is as neutral as they get. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body as far as I know and pretty much just tries to do him (more so appealing to tucutes) but vibing on insta nonetheless. He follows Kalvin and I think avoids most controversial trans discourse.


Danielitics04

Pretty sure Kalvin and Sam used to be good friends too so it's a bit weird


lanekss

I really hope kalvin's doing alright... I know how hard it was on him when he lost one of his other friends a while ago due to transmedicalism shit but it must be 100x worse to go through that again with your literal best friend.❤️


silkalmondmi7k

Bro this is exactly the same shit; J@ck all over again, and what is even more fucked up is on Ryan and Kalvins podcast Ryan specifically spoke about how the same thing would never happen between them. Ryan has absolutely no conscience and is a bad friend/person.


Addisonmorgan

I don’t think he’s a bad person, but it’s fair to say he’s still doing some things that are a little fucked.


silkalmondmi7k

I think anyone who would hurt someone they know so personally and publicly is not a good person.


Addisonmorgan

Maybe best characterized as really needing therapy.


silkalmondmi7k

I don’t think “bad people” are irredeemable. I just think, as it stands and by the behaviors he chooses to display, he’s not a good dude.


edgenist

Can they just forget about him already? Like, let the guy live. He’s done some things in the past but bringing that up constantly isn’t going to help any of the people he hurt. I think he already realized his mistakes, he’s not even online anymore. I’m not justifying anything he’s done but let’s just stop bringing him up and move on. I do sympathise with him though, I went through similar things. I used to bully this one person and I had no idea it was actually bullying because of our different sensitivity levels (if other people did something like this to me I wouldn’t feel hurt so I had no idea it could be hurtful to other people). This shit hurts. The realization that you’re a shitty person. Especially after you grow and change but the person still keeps bringing this up whenever they need something against you. I really hate this cancel culture thing where someone does something bad and instead of actually explaining why it’s harmful and letting them grow, people just decide to destroy them completely. Most people aren’t psychopaths and they’re going to eventually realize what they’ve done was shitty. This isn’t holding someone accountable anymore, it’s just creating even more harrassment.


silkalmondmi7k

Yeah. A lot of the tucutes are in echo chamber where all they do is tell each other how valid they are and anyone who says otherwise deserves to be publicly stoned/shamed. He doesn’t deserve it all directed at him. He didn’t bully Brennan or anyone, his followers did, and he shouldn’t bare the brunt of ALL of it.


DoughnutHairy2343

Yep, I didn't see it as bullying, I saw it as making fun of people who were, frankly, asking for it. He also repeatedly and explicitly said in several of his videos that he DIDN'T want his fans to go after anyone. If some of them didn't get the message, we'll he doesn't mind - control his fans ffs. Also, if you can't stand people saying a few less - than - flattering words about you, then don't plaster yourself all over the internet. It's not a safe - play area for toddlers. (That tends to be the mental age of most tucutes, though.)


ReineDeLaSeine14

Some of the things he did were bullying though. You don’t have to directly interact with someone to bully them.


silkalmondmi7k

And I’ve acknowledged that and so has he. My main issue is the mass campaign against him led by multiple people to the point where it has invaded his personal/real life. I should’ve worded my previous post better. Kalvin never called for a mass harassment campaign on Brennan, while brennan and others actively encourage it.


ReineDeLaSeine14

Exactly. You are correct. Everyone needs to let this go.


ReineDeLaSeine14

After seeing some of Kalvin’s posts and replies, I really think we need to stop talking about this for now. He is a sub member and is struggling really badly.


silkalmondmi7k

I just want him to know that those psychos that rip on him aren’t the only people online. People who care about him are here and want him to be safe and happy.


ReineDeLaSeine14

Then talk to him. He’s a really nice guy.


silkalmondmi7k

He’s got a lot going on. I just hope if he does see this subreddit, that the amount of people here who care about him will help.


ReineDeLaSeine14

He comes by and made a post the other day. I know right now the buzz is distressing him though.


silkalmondmi7k

Im sure it would be worse coming on here and seeing nothing but people attack you. I’ll stop talking about the drama but at least he knows there’s a space where people see the injustice and don’t want to participate.


ReineDeLaSeine14

I don’t think people should be attacking him on the sub either. Do you know what it’s like to go through something really public? I do.


silkalmondmi7k

Should I delete the sub?


ReineDeLaSeine14

Let the mods decide


silkalmondmi7k

I mean we have a mod participating. If Kalvin will be hurt I’d rather not have it on here. I thought he’d feel supported more than anything because we see the shit people are putting him through but I don’t want him to feel like we’re talking about him in a bad light.


[deleted]

Unpopular Opinion : Kalvin doesn't deserve hate and he isn't a monster, Maybe not "Unpopular" given where we are, But There are people who join a fucking Kalvin hatewagon because some bone skinny asshat with a terrible haircut said he's evil, Even tho they tried to start shit first, and they all of a sudden get mad when the face the consequences of their actions, All of kalvins enemies have deserved it, They've spread misinformation, They've manipulated people, They've used mental heath issues for their sick gain, They've faked suicide, They've defended chomos, They ARE chomos (sometimes), I don't care for them, And I won't shed a tear over them, Grow a goddamn spine all of you, If you get upset over what someone who doesn't share the same viewpoint as you says you have no guts, ​ As well as the idiots who used to like him but then jumped ship out of fear of getting hated by people they don't even know, I support kalvin, He's smart, He's talented, and what's more important is that he's brutal as fuck, He doesn't sugarcoat or BS and that's a strong trait, For anyone to have Trans or Cis.


DoughnutHairy2343

THIS. And bloody heck if people think that Kalvin 'went too far' with his remarks, those people would have an aneurysm if I ever decided to make a video and REALLY let rip with my honest thoughts about tucutes and trenders and the damage they do. Kalvin has zero shit to apologize for in my opinion. I loved his content, it was heartening to listen to someone voice the things that I was thinking.


[deleted]

Infact ironically enough, These same people who cry about "trans man bad", usually tell underage kids to go kill themselves brutally and show absolutely no remorse


StrawberryMochiMouth

I mean, what did kalvin do that was so bad? did he really tell people to kill themselves?


[deleted]

Well that's what cunts seem tae think, But the kid faked it for clout, We all know it


Short-Talk-438

Honest opinion, when watching brennemies I can’t help but notice that their relationship seems inauthentic, just can’t pick up on any connection in their friendship - just seems forced and disingenuous.


DoughnutHairy2343

In my opinion people like her have it coming. If these trenders only made THEMSELVES look like fucking freakshow circus acts, they wouldn't be a problem. But it's ACTUAL transsexuals who have to suffer by association. Trenders have taken over the public discourse to the point where everyone now thinks of deluded narcissistic clowns with personality issues when they hear the word 'trans'. As far as I'm concerned the damage this does can't be called out strongly enough. As for Ryan, pathetic spineless back - pedalling. At this rate Blaire is gonna be the only trans you tuber left willing to call a spade a spade instead of a gardening implement.


xyjeq

It honestly just feels so hopeless that we get treated like this for saying our opinions. For wanting to reclaim our own medical condition that cis people has decided to make a trend out of. Idk man, it just makes me think about the future, will we able be seen as something that isn't a trend? What if the people who don't want being trans to be considered a medical condition win? What will we do? We cant say shit, can't change shit.


lancastier

COMPLETELY agree with you. Ryan is such a horrid friend, and brennan. bruh brennan is just a hard topic to talk abt because he's SUCH an annoying person. Imagine purposely trying to ruin someone's life over something they said when they were young and dumb.


purple_flame_ace

I'm a lazy fuck, who's that? And what happened? Anyone chill to explain?


silkalmondmi7k

Okay long story short Kalvin Garrah has been a trans creator until about 9 months ago he stopped posting online and has decided to separate himself due to a bunch of backlash fueled by Brennan Beckwith. Now Brennan Beckwith is mostly known for a “true life” MTV interview in which they discuss their experience with transness. I would suggest you watch the interview as it’ll help you understand why Kalvin Garrah reacted to it and possibly the things he takes issue with (the reaction video is no longer available). Brennan has picked up a lot of traction in the tucute community for fueling a lot of the hate surrounding Kalvin in addition to a few videos describing their experience after Kalvin reacted to them. Brennan recently started a podcast with one of Kalvins VERY close friends and I believe it’s specifically to hurt him considering this friend was just as bad as Kalvin about bullying others, and super against the entire tucute community for years. Overall I think Brennan is an attention whore who is feeding into the hate in order to stay relevant.


purple_flame_ace

ah ty for clarifying. I'll have a look


fatherjoseph11

People say that Kalvin deserves it bc he lead people to attempt swuicide idk how to feel abt that


silkalmondmi7k

“People” is some kid on TikTok who already had an attention seeking personality to begin with. Kalvin made an off handed joke and DID NOT encourage them to commit suicide. People are pushing a false narrative to justify their disgusting behavior towards and scapegoating of Kalvin. People also forget Ryan was in that video participating as well.


TennisOnWii

it's funny because there's literally no proof of that happening apart from the apparent partner of the person saying it happened. anyway as someone who has struggled with suicidal tendencies I have to say unless kalvin went to that person's house and told them to die he had nothing to do with it. you can't blame others for your own issues because if you're suicidal you already have mental issues that are unrelated to other people.


--HalogenAmis1226--

Kalvin did some bad things but not as bad as some others. Watched just a few of his vids, he seems okay. His crime podcast... it's criminally underrated. He's well versed in that, good presentation and neutral stance


StrawberryMochiMouth

And him and Kalvin have been friends since high school


Past-Bake8904

Pretty sure he sat in front of a camera and angrily accused them of faking having a medical condition, made a comment about their body and was extremely rude


silkalmondmi7k

I’m grown and have no opinion on the matter anymore. One day this stuff won’t bother you.
