-Despite her overwhelming support from fans, she often faces criticism from other leftists, trans and non-binary people, specifically on Twitter and Tumblr, due to views she has that they perceive as transmedicalist or exclusionary towards non-binary people.

-=== ''The Aesthetic'' ===
+* [[Philosophy Tube]]
-In
+* [[hbomberguy]]
-<nowiki> </nowiki>September 2018, her video “The Aesthetic” caused controversy due to
-what many saw as a sympathetic portrayal of the character Justine, who
-viewed gender strictly through an (as the title implies) aesthetic lens
-rather than a personal one. Many former fans abandoned her after this
-video.
-=== Pronouns ===
-In
-August 2019, she tweeted that the practice common in progressive spaces
-of people being in a circle and giving their pronouns while introducing
-themselves makes her feel uncomfortable,<sup>[58][59]</sup> causing a firestorm on Twitter and eventually leading to her briefly deactivating her account.<sup>[60]</sup>
-<nowiki> </nowiki>Many fans, mostly her friends and BreadTube peers but also some
-unwelcome figures such as right-wing hacks like Ian Miles Cheong, Black Pigeon Speaks and Blaire White<sup>[61]</sup>
-<nowiki> </nowiki>jumped to her defense, saying that she was taken out of context and was
-<nowiki> </nowiki>merely speaking about her own personal discomfort with pronoun circles
-rather than dismissing them as a whole. Before the deactivation, she
-further infuriated some by saying that she felt like “the last of the
-old school transsexuals” and that she was sympathetic to those who were
-worried about the future of trans acceptance due to “radicals” that did
-not pass or fit inside the gender binary. After briefly handing over control of her account to an assistant, Gwen "the Quen" Kruger, she has since <s>decided to return to Twitter on the 2nd of October.</s><sup>[62]</sup> Nope, sorry, she permanently left again on the 6th of November.<sup>[63]</sup>
-=== Buck Angel ===
-After
-<nowiki> </nowiki>her release of the video "Opulence" on October 12th, 2019 she was
-criticised for letting trans male pornographic actor, sex educator and,
-more controversially, <s>truscum</s> "transmedicalist" Buck Angel appear briefly in the video as the voice of John Waters.<sup>[64]</sup>
-<nowiki> </nowiki>Angel has also spoken out against non-binary gender identities, causing
-<nowiki> </nowiki>many people to speak out against Wynn for collaborating with someone
-who is transmedicalist and nonbinary-phobic, which in the process
-re-ignited multiple previous contra-versies relating to these subjects.
-On November 6, Wynn announced that she would leave Twitter, this tLd.<sup>[65]</sup>
-=== Other thigs ===
-People
-<nowiki> </nowiki>that are further left on the political spectrum than her, such as
-Marxist-Leninists, left communists and anarchists have beef with her as
-well. They often accuse her of being a liberal who does not do enough to advance the leftist
-<nowiki> </nowiki>cause that is the supposed basis of much of her career, in some cases
-mirroring her relationship with other trans people. One of her
-characters, Tabby, can be seen as a caricature of those further left
-than her, which doesn't exactly help matters.
