Derek is a pretty awful person, as a heads up.
Spoilers for nsfw just in case
Tap for spoiler
But yeah apart from his ridiculous manosphere misinformation in general (such as telling his audience masturbation causes penal atrophy), he recently read through some laughably, obviously fake Imane Khelif rage bait and concluded that any abuse she receives is completely justified unless she releases scans of her genitals. Is that really where we’re at, Derek? Mandatory public genital scans of any female athlete at the request of any transvestigator? Overall he’s just a pretty serious loser tbh, altho I have to admit taking down Liver King was rad

Well also him coning out and saying he did steroids, but mostly the neck is the evidence

I thought he was pretty middle of the road as far as fitness bros go, but I’m not surprised the bullshit-du-jour brought some cringe to the surface. Unfortunate. With these guys I can only hope they aren’t too far down the drain. I’ve watched a lot of insightful videos from this guy, even if they didn’t apply to me. I can only hope that some of the other guys I’ve gotten helpful advice from in the past (namely Mario Tomic and Sean Nalewanyj and James Nippard) aren’t like that.
You’d think bodybuilders could be the most empathetic people towards gender nonconforming folks, given their daily physical and mental effort re: body dysphoria. As someone outside the queer community it was ironically cis dude fitness talk that helped me wrap my head around the kind of thing trans people especially have to worry about on a daily basis.
Sometimes your body just can’t do what your mind says it must do and that’s a pretty crazy experience! Sometimes it’s a hormone or chemical thing. Sometimes people around you are dicks about things that they really shouldn’t be about. You bust your ass and sometimes go to extreme lengths to narrow the gap. The theoretical bodybuilder bro - transgender axis of solidarity seems very rational to me. It feels like the disconnect is purely cultural/artificial.
