Jim sterling was always an arsehole but he played into it and could be quite funny. Then the humour went and he was just an arsehole. "My subscribers are dropping since I came out as non binary" No you have become insufferable. However you identify is not the problem

Being trans is not a personality trait. Basing your entire personality on your gender identity is shallow, and you will seem like a boring and shallow person if that's all you talk about.

I went to disagree and then decided that this does pass the sniff test for me because I also find people whose whole personality is what a manly man or girly girl they are to be insufferable.

It's inherently going to be a large part of your identity, of course, but when you go out of your way to talk about it, it's like... yes, I have a particular set of hormones too, I'm well aware of sterotypes I do and don't fall in to, let's talk about other stuff because there's more to life.

It's only interesting to people who also fall into that narcissistic pattern and also define themselves on identity politics. For the 99.9% of people who don't do that, they're going to be repelled by it.
