Purity test

I know what Buck Angel is trying to do but it's clumsy and it feels elitist. His way of helping police authenticity is by applying a purity test. It's very similar to the one Blaire White uses and, even if there is good intent behind the effort, it does not translate well in execution.

We cannot help everyone who ventures outside what we used to view as the official world of gatekeeping. Some will invariably take hormones and have surgery and then wind up on his channel as fodder for the criticals. So in what he views as his earnest effort Mr. Angel will feature that Ontario machine shop teacher who wears triple E breast forms and point to them as a caricature of a transgender person to make his point.

The reality is that people are deeply complex and do all kinds of things which you need not venture very far outside the world of gender variance to witness. So if you want to want to help others maybe a change of tactic is in order such that those who are happy in their lifestyle and aren't hurting anyone need not be belittled?
