I mean, people said the same about my doing a video on autogynephilia. Maybe wait till the video comes out before critiquing it?

Dont fucking refer to trans women as TRAPS.
you just said the word "traps" yourself. Because we're talking about the word. You honestly think I'm going to do this video without a very critical analysis of the word "trap"?

I don't like the word "trap." In fact, I'm making a whole video about why I don't like it!

A critical analysis of the word doesn't require that the video be titled after a popular anti-trans 'meme'.
-
But, I guess you can just dismiss all these trans people objecting to the title as part of the ~hysterical~ trans twitter crowd, right?

Contra, it's known that the word you're using is a slur. What I'm asking is, are you sure you couldn't phrase it in a non transmysogynist title like "the heterosexual male anxiety about trans women" or something? You're smarter than I am. There's a non meme way to express this.

honestly, i really wish it was framed entirely differently, it's not just the issue of saying 'trap' it's using the click-bait-y title of 'are traps gay'. i don't hate you or want you to go away, i enjoy some of your videos, but i think the framing of this was in poor taste.

like yeah, i know it's going to pull in more views, likely from lots of alt-right type folks, but it still feels like throwing folks under the bus since it's invariably going to just be passing confirmation bias for a lot of people.

The slur is bad as it is. But... framing the title as a question plays into the same discourse transmysoginists use. It's a different case than the autogynophilia video where the title is the word and just that.

I'm gonna chime in and rule it: honestly, but inelegantly. Hope y'all get somewhere with this. I can see both sides; Contra, that it's not an earnest adoption but rather adoption-by-reply, and Alicia, that putting it in the title is way too close to earnest adoption.
