No, Zeke DID know. The producers knew, he told them, and they decided to let him take the reigns on how/if he’d come out on the show and when. Read all of Zeke’s statements, articles, as well as Jeff Probst’s on the matter. The issue isn’t that he never thought his transness would be revealed on the show, it’s that…

“stating that he hadn’t realized Smith wasn’t out as transgender.”
Yeah, that’s exactly what he was doing. Credit to Zeke for hugging him, although I’m sure a lot of it was social pressure and expectation- I wouldn’t touch him with a 100 foot torch. Like... What this asshole did doesn’t surprise me, because cis people are always willing to throw us under the bus when it’s convenient…
You got your odds backward, I’m sorry to say. As a trans person, I’m completely surprised that everyone handled this as they did. We’re still shit on by and large by cis people; one of the reasons outing is so disgusting (on top of it crossing boundaries and privacy and exposing people) is because trans people are…
I’ve never read much of the Peanuts strips, but I love reading Kevin and the commentariats’ analysis. I’d imagine what you say is true, but in a way it’s also sort of part of the problem. Linus gets to be his own character, with his own motiviations and struggles and shortcomings and quirks, with his friendship with…
STID whitewashed Khan.
Thank you for saying what you did with your first few posts here. As someone who has BPD and has a close friend with Bipolar, I’m really fucking pissed off at this comment chain overall.

Look up the case of Gavin Grimm Laverne mentions at the start. He’s a trans boy. IIRC he had the approval of his high school’s administration to use the men’s bathrooms, and it was only made into a problem when parents started complaining. I do think you have a good point though!!
Did any one else notice how startled and thrown off Laverne looked when the host asked if she should use the men’s room? Her expression went from “listening” to like “holy shit” after visibly starting and honestly the way she blinked and swallowed looked to me like she was fighting the urge to cry. She looked hurt,…
how does she feel about transgender women? frankly, the label “second wave radical feminist” gives me the heebie jeebies because of how many of them absolutely shit on trans women in so many fucking ways.
He’s so hot, I’m dying. Loved him since he was Owain!

White nationalism. White people.
Or they could stop setting ridiculous numbers.
I’m not at all doubting that a lot of schadenfreude in her loss is coming from misogynist men, but I, a transfeminine non-binary person, am getting schadenfreude because she’s a transmisogynist.
Thank you for pointing this out - I was going to, if no one else had. She kind of got victim-blamed by her own kid. She needs to have a talk with them if she hasn’t already...
