Chris found it astonishing that gender non-conforming individuals have to face hurdles to access life-saving gender-affirming healthcare, especially in a developed country. He emphasized that people should have the right to make informed decisions about their own bodies.
Chris Tyson responds to parenting criticism about Tucker
In response to Chris’ hormone replacement therapy revelation, one person wrote that the MrBeast teammate would no longer be a good father figure for his son. However, Chris Tyson didn’t stay silent and hit back that it was just another way of spreading negative stereotypes about trans and gender-nonconforming individuals.
He pointed out that his son loves him and that children are not born with hate; they learn it from people like the commenter. He emphasized that his child would only know love.

Proud of Chris for coming out especially to an audience of mrbeast viewers who are notably both homophobic n transphobic. They’ve been touching on their struggles with gender identity for a while now n I’m happy they r in a place now where they can be fully open abt who they are
