I know this was already solved so I don't wish to drag this out more than necessary; however It feels a bit wrong of me to continue sending asks without at the very least apologizing even if the issue was resolved.
I won't occupy too much of your time, I wish to apologize for submitting content that was transphobic and made people uncomfortable. Not going to justify it, just know that it came from a place of ignorance rather than bigotry. Very much appreciate the fact that you gave me the benefit of the doubt.
If you'd like, I could resend the ask in question in a more amab-inclusive way (ie, getting rid of the swapping entirely), so that everyone can enjoy it. If not, I could just send in more dad content.
Just didn't feel right if I didn't apologize and offer a potential solution.
Thank you anon! I'm sure this is very appreciated!
Like I said previously, I think the topic is still okay we just need to be more careful with our terms. Using things like Masc! Presenting and Fem! Presenting when talking about things like this.
I could be wrong, but I think this solution is what we decided works best?
Anyway, I'm sure the others really appreciate your apology.

I think if I hear one more YT channel call that Colleen girl that abused and groomed kids "narcissistic", I'll implode.
Here are some basics:
NPD is a stigmatized disorder.
"Narcissistic" describes a person who has NPD.
I thought people learned this lesson when we removed "psychotic" from the list of insults you can throw around. Guess not.
The words you're looking for are "self-centric", "self-absorbed", "egomaniac", "egotistical".
Being any of the aforementioned does not make you narcissistic.
You can't armchair diagnose people. Yes, not even the shitty ones.
You can't claim that abusive behavior is connected to the person's disorder(s). Abuse is a choice.
By armchair assigning narcissism to shitty people, you are furthering the stigma against narcissistic individuals.
The risks of completing suicide in pwNPD are very high.
Narcissists are not inherently abusive.
Narcissistic abuse does not exist.
Colleen Ballinger is not a person with NPD.
Her actions are her conscious choice; her inability to apologize and make amends has nothing to do with pwNPD.
Leave the term "narcissistic" out of your mouth if you don't know how to use it.
And kindly, shut up about narcissistic traits unless you're narcissistic.

Summary of the whole Colleen Ballinger situation
I am not someone who watches a lot of YouTubers especially not a lot of original YouTubers but I do occasionally watch drama videos about people I have never watched because I'm a nosy bitch who likes gossip
But the Colleen Ballinger situation is so much more than drama. I've been following it since it blew up three weeks ago and here is the summary of the situation if you're interested
Three years ago when he was 17 YouTuber Adam McIntyre made a video calling out Colleen for running a behind the scenes smear campaign against him and briefly touched on the fact that she had an inappropriate relationship with him which included sending him underwear when he was 13
She made an "apology" video and won the sympathy vote and he was harassed by her fans and generally not believed for 3 years
3 weeks ago another YouTuber named Kodee put out a video proving that they worked with Colleen behind the scenes to smear Adam and came out with a lot more proof that Colleen was being very inappropriate with minors in a private group chat. A lot of which was her asking Adam things like what his favourite sex position was when he was 15. (Side note: Kodee is a whole thing on their own) Adam at age 20 has realised she used him as unpaid labour and groomed him
Adam, while not ready for this stuff to be out there, decided to advocate for himself and shared more proof. Partly because he was relieved to have been finally vindicated. He is now 20 and realising fully how messed up her behaviour was to him and wants to defend past him
All this coming out has led to other former fans that Colleen, her friend Kory, and her brother have been inappropriate with, groomed, abused, or sexualised as children coming forward to share their stories and how they are just now, as they reach adulthood, realising how traumatic a lot of that stuff was
There are a lot of accusations and they have gotten progressively worse
Adam sought out therapy to help him process all this trauma he had kept hidden out of shame only for the world to find out (remember he didn't bring most of the inappropriate sexual comment stuff forward initially. Kodee did)
Colleen is silent for 3 weeks as this all goes down
Last night she releases a video on her 3rd channel titled "hi." Where she pulls out a fucking ukulele and sings a silly little song about how everyone is lying and tried to turn it around and make herself the victim. She's not a groomer! Just a loser! And yeah she did talk to kids in group chats and overshare but she wasn't creepy about it! She promises! While providing 0 proof to defend herself
It goes down exactly as you would expect
And that's where things stand rn
It's a fucking mess
I really feel for the victims especially Adam
The one good thing to come out of all of this is from my perspective is it has led to some very important conversations in my house with my teenager about parasocial relationships, internet safety, and appropriate boundaries
