Chris Tyson is a member of the MrBeast (who is a famous YouTube influencer) crew and was the first one from the crew to get married. He had a son with his wife named Tucker. Now he is divorced but still takes good care of his child.
Chris came out as bisexual in November of 2020, and fans noticed that he was painting his nails and not wearing his wedding ring. Later on, he would go on to divorce his wife, Katie, and come out as transgender.
After he came out as trans publicly, fans started shaming him for his decision, and MrBeast said in a recent livestream that he is not ashamed of him at all.
Many people say that Karl Jacobs (a fellow MrBeast member ) ruined Chris and is going to ruin the other members too. And he is receiving a lot of hate from MrBeast viewers. People are calling this the Karl effect. However, Chris came out as bisexual before Karl even joined Mrbeast.
Now Chris is receiving hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which is a therapy given to people who want to change their gender and replace their hormones with the opposite gender’s hormones) and a huge number of MrBeast fans do not support his decision.
Many people might not agree with me, but I support Chris’s decision, and I will not shame him. Everyone has the right to define and express their gender identity in a way that feels true to them. However, it is important to support and respect people's choices regarding their gender identity and sexual orientation. Everyone should have the right to live their life honestly and be true to themselves without fear of discrimination or hatred. It is also important to be mindful of the words and actions you use toward others and to educate yourself on issues that affect the LGBTQ+ community.
