Transcript excerpt

I did not commit a hate crime today, whatever they tell you. And I wanna get out in front of this because a trans woman posted my video on her story about growing out my leg hair rank all the ways that has made me feel. And she said this. I deserve the fucking gulags. So I DM'd her and all I said was, you merely adopted the rank. I was born in it, molded by it. And it's not a hate crime if it's funny. And I know she'll get the reference because at some point, what was she? A 12 year old boy.
