itspronouncedmetrosexual (aka Sam Killerman) is a cishet white man who’s made a career out of speaking over marginalized voices.
He did not create the genderbread person but he chose to slap his name on it anyways.
He also tried to popularize the term trans* despite not being trans himself nor having the approval of actual trans people. (Trans* is a useless term since trans already includes all trans people. Trans* causes people to falsely think that trans is an uninclusive term)
Here’s a tumblr post for the plagiarism claim You can also find stuff by just searching for “sam killerman controversy” or similar. The other stuff you can find on his own website.
Edit: It seems like my Lemmy client is confusing Tumblr links for Lemmy instance links so I’ll just post it again below just in case.

Dang, I guess the counselor who printed this had no idea. I’m no longer at that jobsite, but I’ll let the next person know if I see this again.
