only ever a hanger-on in many ways
but at some point i got tired of doing that and decided i was going to strike out and forge my own
and i've succeeded, i think
i've been thinking a lot about community lately
about building and sustaining it
about reaching out to people that i might not really have much in common with
and I think i am more comfortable doing this now because i have a core community i can call my own
built with my own efforts and love

That was it, he never offered any further specifics and the media utterly failed to convey how much of a charlatan he was.
It's so, so late it's heartbreaking, but this is very good reporting by the BBC identifying the Harvard-trained Saudi lawyer responsible for the forced detransition and eventual death by suicide of Eden Knight.
