nathan responded to a comment on his elton john AIDS foundation post - highlighting that gender affirming care for the trans community is healthcare & that HIV testing and treatment should be stigma free. i really appreciate nathan being a vocal advocate for the community 💛

I think the reason people are reluctant to embrace Nathan on here is that he has an unconventional style that is uniquely his And being different always makes people uncomfortable.Figure skating has always been a classically focused sport.Nathan has pushed FS to grow beyond that

this performance was beautiful (as is all of nathan’s junior work) but i disagree with the implication that his skating regressed since then. nathan developed his own modern, dynamic style. not following the traditional definition of artistry doesn’t equate to regression imo
