I won't negate that transmisogyny has added fuel to the dumpster fire that Chris Chan's story is but this is outright wrong. Chris Chan was already a huge deal ages before they came out as trans, which happened relatively recently, much time after the peak of their infamy.
For what it's worth, the harassment campaign was in full swing waaaay before CWC came out as trans, that was just extra fuel for the fire when it was starting to die down
People would not make such a huge deal out of it if it weren't for transmisogyny.

It wouldn't be correct for me to say that at the start, but it's indisputable at this point.
