MrBeast’s side kick Chris Tyson was accused of abandoning his 2-year-old son after he started hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and has since hit back at critics.
Tyson, 26, who says he uses all pronouns, revealed in early April that he had started his “life-saving” HRT treatment two months ago.
He has since faced anti-trans comments and critics have even questioned his parenting skills, but his friend MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has publicly defended him.
After Youtuber SunnyV2 shot a video titled “Why Chris Will Soon Be a Nightmare For MrBeast,” Donaldson tweeted, “Yeah. this is getting absurd. Chris is not my “nightmare”, he is my fucking friend and everything is fine.
“All this transphobia is getting to me.”

The backlash began after Tyson (pictured with son Tucker in May 2022) changed his Twitter profile picture from one of himself and his two-year-old son Tucker to a sketch of himself with long hair. A Twitter user named Cody responded to the change, saying: “Chris had a perfectly healthy nuclear family that has been shown to give children the best outcomes in life, many studies back this up. But Chris has decided, cue chosen, to sacrifice that in order to fulfill his selfish fetish fantasy of being a woman.
Tyson, 26, (pictured two weeks ago) revealed how his physical appearance “has already started to change” after two months of treatment.
The backlash began after Tyson changed his Twitter profile picture from one of himself and his two-year-old son Tucker to a sketch of himself with long hair.
A Twitter user named Cody responded to the snap, saying: “Chris had a perfectly healthy nuclear family that has been shown to give children the best outcomes in life, many studies back this up.
“But Chris decided, cue is chosen, to sacrifice that in order to fulfill his selfish fetish fantasy of being a woman.”
With his allegations, the man posted pictures of Tyson and his family, wife Katie Tyson and their son Tucker.
The man added: “Chris loves his son, I have no doubt about that. But his selfishness and deviance were top priority. He even shares pictures of his son in girls’ heels.
“But that’s not grooming, is it? He even pushes his selfish fetish on his own son.”
He went on to say that all of the Youtuber’s money wouldn’t buy him happiness or his son’s “understanding of why he lost his father and got a second mother.”
He also demanded that the Youtuber “accept himself” and “take his family back” after claiming Tyson would “never be a woman”.
Tyson defended the snap and the criticism that he was a father while living as a gender nonconformist.
He argued, “I just don’t want more photos of Tucker out there than there is to be,” adding last week, “I’m not going to let people talk about how I left my kid.” He is the only priority in my life.
“I have his love and support and that’s all I need. I do this for him. If this confuses you, do your research. This makes you angry. Leave. Simply.’
Although Tyson has faced a lot of criticism since announcing his HRT treatment, he said he was “really so glad” that his announcement helped educate people about HRT and “how it can and has helped so many people.” “.
The star, who has appeared in countless videos alongside YouTube’s biggest star MrBeast, tweeted on April 6: “Informed Consent HRT saved my life and many others. I find the hurdles that gender non-conforming people must overcome to obtain life-saving gender-affirming healthcare in a first world country wild.

“Just let people make informed decisions about their own bodies.”
Tyson, who revealed he has struggled with gender dysphoria for years, said he decided to start HRT two months ago and that it helped in his decision to start treatment, his son’s parent to become.

People who are male at birth are usually prescribed estrogen because it blocks testosterone and allows people to better conform to their gender identity.

The number of transgender people undergoing conversion surgery and hormone therapy has increased significantly in recent years, particularly in the United States.
Tyson revealed he’s undergoing HRT after a Twitter user shared side-by-side photos of him before and after therapy while asking: “Bro wtf happens”.
“HET, and it’s only been two months,” Tyson wrote in response, adding that he’s been learning about gender dysmorphia for 21 years after spotting his sister’s clothes in her closet.
