Yeah, he's learned that a ton of people who criticize folk for not binding have no idea what the reality of his life with an F/G cup chest was like (or even D/E).

The extremely, ugly public turn against trans rights, especially among prominent liberals and centrists, doesn't fully make sense until one realizes that it's elites attacking overwhelmingly working class demographics to punish us for our defiance and try to crush any hopes for autonomy.
