"I am a woman!": MrBeast's friend Kris Tyson talks about gender pronouns, comes out as woman

MrBeast's friend and YouTube mate Kris Tyson has finally come out as a woman to the world in the latest episode of the Anthony Padilla show, I Spend A Day With. Tyson has been on HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy for quite some time, and this individual has been subjected to a lot of anti-trans backlash ever since the news of them being on HRT went viral.

MrBeast was also getting a lot of flak for the "scandal" and had to publicly tweet against the transphobic narrative on social media targeted at Kris. In the latest interview with Anthony Padilla, this online personality talked about pronouns and other relevant matters.
