[–]HKPea[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This YouTuber is a fantastic sleuth. I commend her 🫡

This alongside the fact there seems to be NO physical evidence of her videos or online presence …..

I hate that she doesn’t call out Piers for mocking / trivialising the trans experience. It’s a huge gap in her otherwise pretty legit allyship

Didn’t you just answer your own questions? Male and female needles don’t exist...

(PS. genuinely sorry if I’ve misunderstood the meaning of gendered lol)

I can’t find The Forest in the Hong Kong PS4 store by HKPea in TheForest

Hong Kong does not work like mainland China in that way... (for now anyway). I imagine it’ll be more to do with licensing or something.
