Bunch of instances of him being a generally shitty person, a racist, and being a hardcore Trumper mostly to my knowledge.

It is so wild reading how other people react to stimulants like caffeine. The first and only time I've ever felt anything even resembling what I hear more typical people talk about feeling was this one time in college. I get migraines and one of the only things that help them besides closing my eyes and attempting to cease being conscious is caffeine.
In those days the thing that worked best for my migraine was to toss back 800mg of ibuprofen and chug an entire can of Java Monster. Usually I start to feel some relief from the pain in about 20 minutes. At worst, I wouldn't feel anything at all if it was a really bad migraine and downing a second energy drink would usually take care of it. This day was probably one of the worst migraines of my entire life and I ended up chugging 3 cans in about an hour.
Now for someone who at this point had never felt anything at all from literally any amount of caffeine before, suddenly feeling my heart rate spike and starting to feel jittery was an utterly terrifying experience. I ended up giving myself a panic attack and calling my Mom thinking I'd messed up big time and I was about to die of a heart attack or something. In reality my heart rate was only a little elevated and it was a tiny case of the jitters, but being someone who had never felt anything from caffeine before it scared the crap out of me.
You would think that if anyone was going to, then other trans people would understand that, but my gods so many people in the community end up whether they realize it or not perpetuating the bad stereotypes that cause so many of us grief. Trans guys don't have to take everything on the chin without complaint to be valid just like trans ladies don't have to perfectly perform femininity to be valid. You'd think that people who reject the box they were put in wouldn't be jumping at the chance to force others into boxes.
It should be! But my gods it feels like there's a very loud portion of at least the online trans community that thinks that the only valid ways to be trans are "fem-leaning androgynous enby" if you're AFAB and "trans woman" if you're AMAB. As if the second that they can look at you and read "that's a dude" you stop being valid or something. Which is so messed up.
I don't know, I think that's part of why I've always vibed more with the transmasc crowd than the transfem one despite being AMAB. It's not the same but I spent my entire life getting bullied by the men in it for being too effeminate. I had a baby doll that I took care of while my Mom took care of my baby brother when she did something I couldn't help with. I cried too easily, I didn't care about cars and sports like they did, I had no interest in sex. It was like the way everyone else saw me was "girl badly pretending to be a boy" except I didn't feel like either.
Ozzy wouldn't be in Hell to be punished. He's there to be the punishment.
