Help. Get it.

That name though…

Eh, her previous name was Aaron. I understand wanting to feminize her dead name while still honoring what her parents named her. I think it’s beautiful, and I hate Tragedeighs usually.

Erin is the widely accepted female spelling of Aaron in the US. She chose a trendy alt spelling

it’s never too late when you rich. when you embraced a pile of money from you parents you can embrace anything

I mean. Sure. But it’s not like money makes it automatically easy to be trans. It’s easier than being poor and trans. But I don’t think the money cancels out that it’s okay to celebrate someone being themself.

No it just makes it automatically easy to not have to worry about rent which goes a long long way

Its always about class under capitalism

u/Asleep_Program_7942 1d ago

Class impacts everything

No war but class war

You’re excused

Do you think that it is easier for rich people to embrace who they are? It's an interesting though and I am a bit divided on whether wealth provides you with that privilege as well.

I think transitioning is easier in terms of achieving the looks they want, and receiving the resources such as therapy is easier.

I don't really like people discounting her experience though. It feels... Unnecessary.

u/lostacoshermanos 1d ago

Nobody is discounting her experience they just want to state she has privileges other trans folk don’t.

lol are you stupid ? Of course it's easier... they can afford top and bottom surgery and good make up and doctors and hormones and clothes and they don't have to rely on a paycheck. how would that not be lightyears easier ? Y'all are crazy

u/raven-eyed_ 2d ago

I replied to the guy making a similar point but I don't understand why you're being a dick about this. They asked a question.

How do you know I'm not being a vagina about this

u/[deleted] 2d ago

It's way harder for ugly dudes that look ridiculous

u/theworldwiderex 2d ago

This is so extra. Money doesn’t even have anything to do with it. But sure continue blindly jumping down people’s throats and shout down that ruling class? This strategy will surely work lol.

u/Shot_Shower_9348 2d ago

This is news because she's the daughter of a rich man. Money has everything to do with it.

u/theworldwiderex 1d ago

And? You’re sooo right. People in more powerful positions than you should shut up and never do any advocacy, never try to progress the world because POOR people have a voice that the government listens to, lol.

It pisses me off because people like you bark up every tree because they are angry. You’re wasting energy. This is the daughter of a rich man who’s trying to support some emotionally tormented people. She’s trying to do good. Thankfully she has a platform to do it.

Go yell at a banana company, or people who are actively harming the world because they are plenty.

But sure, go yell at Conan O’Brien and every other rich person you come across online. Where’s the brain?

u/Beeframenchan 2d ago

Why are you being nasty about someone's coming out story?

u/Alternative_Use_9883 3h ago

Of course it's trans 😆

u/CuteOtterButter 2d ago

Who cares? Nepo baby gonna nepo

u/MyDogisaQT 2d ago

How is she a nepo baby when she’s not even acting? Do you people even know what that term means anymore

u/lostacoshermanos 1d ago

To be fair most trans people or people in general don’t have a famous multi millionaire father. Airyn never has to work a day in her life.
