Oppression Olympics, you mean.
In all fairness, Jaron and his mom doesn't play the victim game, at least not with such gusto as other semi-famous troons like Banana Wu or Rhys McKinnon. There has been no "death threats", no stinkeyes from randos on the streets. Indeed TLC made it looks as if Jaron is living in a LGBT dreamland: he is surrounded by gender-affirming friends of similar age; his grandma had a highly improbable candid talk with him; he even got accepted into fucking Harvard! The only thing he experienced that might be though of as "transphobia" is that Toyboy's parents aren't on the same page as Jaron.
Wasn't there a kid who had a botched circumcision and his parents wound up trooning him out because the doctor and his team were "pioneering" this kind of surgery?
Yes, David Reimer. I meant that in terms of being diagnosed with gender dysphoria at a super young age, Jazz was one of the very first cases. It wasn’t until his interview, book, and show where we really started getting the trend of trans kids. Reimer’s case was one of very bad luck and being taken advantage by a creepy doctor that wanted to prove his point. It was more like how intersex kids were altered to conform to a gender with him (“oops! We burned his dick off! Well Dr Money suggests he should be raised a girl so I guess we’ll do it”), while with Jazz he always knew he was born male. Similar but different.
Just another example: sales of Reese's Pieces skyrocketed after the release of ET, even though the brand name was never even explicitly mentioned.
David wasn't on a reality show for most of his life.
David and his brother were forced to perform sexual acts on each other by the quack doctor experimenting on them. David wasn't told he'd been mutilated as a baby until he was an older child, after he'd already been mocked, molested, and lied to. He never wanted what happened to him and never had a choice because he was just a baby.
