kalvin garrah made me question my views on gender issues for years. ever since i was 13 years old, i have been watching his videos (not so much anymore though) and blindly agreeing with what he says. there are many things he has said that i regret agreeing with; because as a cisgender woman who has never dealt with gender questioning/identity issues, it is not my place to agree with the bullying projected towards other transgender people. it is not my place to judge anyone in the trans community because i will never fully understand their experiences. but being exposed to these hateful videos about young trans people trying to find themselves in the midst of extreme trauma, have bent my views about certain subjects into a negative light, and i regret it so much. kalvin is an influencer with a... questionable influence on young minds. luckily i have done research in my own time about such topics and don't have these harmful views anymore, but not everyone can say the same. kalvin, although these are your opinions, they are hurting other people in your own community. please just own up to the horrible things you have said and be better.

Dude really out here trying to justify how misgendering and making fun of someone's weight is completely "okay." like wow let's just slap a "it's all good buddy! That's in the past now and we can forget about it!" sticker on this situation cause clearly that's the only thing you wanna do

You’re apologizing because you got backlash, not because you regret anything you said or did. Your opinions now are the exact same, no matter how you try to sugarcoat them.

Congrats on making a really good choice. (I know tone can be hard in text sometimes so I want to be clear that I'm not being condescending or anything. When things are stressful making good choices can be really hard.)

I really don't think kalvin shoud do another video on brennen, they have made it abundantly clear they want nothing to do with kalvin and making another video is just going to add more to the trauma brennen already has because of kalvin

Oh joy, Kalvin complaining about people “taking him out of context” whilst he was taking out of context and misrepresenting people on the internet who didn’t do anything to him other than offend him on how they identify as trans, leading them to be dogpiled. Gag me with a bike pump. Jesus Christ.

yeah i can see how he could be blaire’s bestie. two hateful and extremely insecure human beings who try to look better by taking others down. they both should grow up & own up but i doubt they can see past their narcissistic yet self-loathing mindset.

The thing is, he knows once he apologizes for this one video, he’ll have to apologize for every other video he spewed bullshit against queer people who don’t fit into the bubble that he thinks queer people are in 🤷🏽♂️ at that point he’ll have to apologize for/take down 80-90% of his content. The move is yours Kalvin, the “fake” queers are watching 👀

you’d think he’d realise that he’s done this to himself by now... I mean srsly he hasn’t shown any sign of change or personal growth he did so much worse to his victims.

I think showing growth is really all anyone can ask for and there are more people supporting you than you might think.

overwhelmed by hundreds of negative comments to the point where youre calling it a mental breakdown, but you cant see how devastated some people have been as your videos inciting hundreds of negative comments directed to invalidate and mock peoples personal, vulnerable gender identity

Imagine being this mean-spirited. It's upsetting seeing what a cold, malicious person you've grown into. Show some empathy, Kalvin.

As someone who used to support kalvin, agreed with his views, watched all his videos etc. This is vile. Kalvin please just apologize, you shouldn't have started to literally harass people in the first place because all it did for you was come back to bite you, and it's just morally wrong and disgusting. After seeing all the harm kalvin has done and how judgemental I had become of other people's identities I was disgusted with not only myself but kalvin too, since I never held those beliefs until I watched him. I've since changed and no longer support kalvin or his actions, and I'm glad. Kalvin please apologize, do not try to justify your actions from the past because they are just gross. Let people live their lives, they are not hurting you in any way but you are hurting them. Good day

Look, sometimes all that needs to be said is ‘sorry’ and have it left at that, there’s no need for deconstructing.

“Out of context” no... I’m pretty sure most of the clips that have been reposted don’t need the full context of the video? They’re awful enough on their own and watching the rest is not going to change that

Kalvin Garrah
Letting y’all know Im re-privating my video about Brennen. My plan is to deconstruct the video and explain what I do and dont agree with regarding it at some point, but for now people are really misunderstanding my reasoning for having it public and I don’t want people to assume in doing so I’m rescinding my apology or anything. I don’t agree with the general attitude of the video or a lot of the statements I made in it. I realize now that regardless if it’s public or not, parts of it will always be taken out of context (albeit by a small group of people). I also want to make it ABUNDANTLY clear that I did not monetize the video. YouTube plays ads on it because the video is copyrighted (due to music in the video) I have made NO revenue off it and that was never the point.
