Note from Jack:
There was one particular moment that I really didn't appreciate, amongst the deliberate misgendering and unapologetic transphobia... A cis woman repeatedly touched the trans man's chest and asked, "Is this real?" What she is referencing is his post-op body, and she was touching him to feel the shape of his chest. Quick tip, don't do that to any trans person. If you wouldn't repeatedly touch a cis woman's chest to feel if she's had a boob job, don't do it to a person of another gender.
