Finally, some news from YouTuber that are not messy. British popular YouTuber and actress Abigail Thorn, whose YouTube video series “Philosophy Tube” drew more than 50 million views for the way they combine the style of theatrical production with compelling explainers of current social issues, have come out publicly as a woman trans on January 30. Thorn simultaneously released a statement in written and filmed format, in which he begins by saying: “Hello friends! I am pleased to say that I am a trans woman; my name is Abigail and you can refer to me with her. ”Thorn continues to criticize the discrimination that trans people face in the UK, saying that“ trans people, especially people of color, are most affected by unemployment, homelessness and domestic, sexual and police violence, but the conversation always it focuses on the rich white cis women tweeting about bathrooms. ”
So, if you wonder why the topic “Abigail” is on the rise in your Twitter sidebar, it’s not because Abigail Breslin is coming back. It’s because left-wing video rehearsers and pop culture connoisseurs on YouTube have another talented trans creator among their ranks.
