He has rational reason to be trans at this point.
1. He likes having a flat chest.
2. He has no intention of making his voice any higher.
3. He only wears feminine clothing in YouTube videos (likely in public as well, but I don't know).
4. His hair is back to the length it was during the atheism YouTube days.
5. He doesn't hate his body, and the only "positive" he's really getting from estrogen is smooth skin, which last I checked, isn't a gender transition.
6. Everything he's doing, the hrt, the drugs, is aging his body, one of his greatest fears.
Why is he still doing this?
A. It could hurt his career because--while he has a few quiet detrans viewers--most of his viewers are the troons who dismiss "detransitioners" as never really trans. If one of these troons were to "detransition," they would still call themselves women (or men, or enbies, I didn't forget u guys!
) but just say that medically transitioning didn't work out for them. It would be a serious blow to his career to detransition.
B. The psychological shame of being wrong. He hates being trans, he's admitted he has ruined his life, but he's built up so much and burned too many bridges to admit that he made a mistake. He has no shame in quitting. Parrott quit a PhD program. It's the pride of admitting this lifestyle he poured his soul into was the wrong one.
If he did detransition, he wouldn't unprivate his old videos. It has nothing to do with gender dysphoria, and it never had. First, he hid them because he was so obviously a man in them that people would wonder what went wrong. He admitted it himself. "I don't want people seeing me as a man who became a woman." If anything, he'd rather people think of him as a woman who used to be a man.
But if he detransitioned, they would stay privated because they'd be a constant reminder of what he was and what he can never go back to.
