First of all, I just want to say that I think Rich has been an incredible addition to the show; he is effortlessly funny and entertaining,  and I love his chemistry with the crew.

That's why I started to watch more of Rich's content. Recently he made several videos and shorts about a situation between Jeffree Star and a creator named Lillytino. You can find them on his YouTube channel, but I'll list them below. 

I have never heard of Lillytino before and don't know much about her,  but I don't like that she films in public bathrooms, and I know a lot of her content is built around her experience not passing well as a woman. 

In the videos, Rich seemingly agrees with Jeffree's claim that Lillytino is a "fake" trans person and many trans people like her have predatory agendas. They misgender her multiple times,  which I don't care how much you might not like a person, that's transphobic.

Rich Lux seemingly agrees with Jeffree on that the LGBT community should "only be LGB" and shows a lot of disrespect and ignorance towards nonbinary people.

I found this really disturbing. I'm of the understanding that not every trans person has the privilege of having the tools needed to pass incredibly well... and frankly it's transphobic to exclude trans people based on where they are in their transition and what they have access to.

The comment section of these posts are especially vile, with Rich seemingly agreeing with a good bit of it.. I added pics of some really shocking ones, and a pic of a comment disagreeing with Rich that he didn't like... so he wasn't just liking random comments. 

I don't think anyone should give Rich any hate over this, it won't change anything.  I think, ideally, maybe Ethan and Rich should maybe have a conversation about this next time he's on the show... I think Rich just doesn't understand he's being transphobic. 

I feel guilty even bringing this up, I enjoy Rich's time on the show so much.... but as a nonbinary person I can't help but feel really disappointed.
