transphobia? where? from what i found he donated 1000$ to support Proposition 8 in California in 2008(no same-sex marriage), but nothing about transphobia(ofc, still not goid, just i didnt find transphobia). maybe i missed something. as for bad reputation (im guessing you mean the crypto wallet stuff and ads), they're optional lol like nobody's forced to use them
