I cashed out on Survivor around season 20

I do remember that one trans individual getting outed a few seasons ago though by a tribe member because that was incredibly shitty


I was floored by that. I had no idea he was trans. Even after that happened, I went out of my way to look for chest scars in scenes where he had no shirt. I didn't see any. It was his second season playing and he had presented himself simply as a gay man the first time. The man who outed him was voted out that night and several tribemates were angered to tears. He himself cried and apologized. He had used the information as leverage to try and paint the trans man as disingenuous for holding his secret from the others. The others rightfully felt that the secret was out of bounds to be used as a gameplay tactic or leverage point. The host was floored and there was no official vote. Essentially, host said "y'all voting this dude out for this?" and they all nodded and the dude was like "yeah I fucked up and I deserve it" and that was that. It was not malicious though and the outer was himself gay, and realized he had done a massive disservice to the LGBT+ community. I haven't heard much follow up on that. I'm sure he's suffered for it, though I hope he has been forgiven. He just knew he was likely to be voted out and used that information to try and turn it around for him but hurt everyone in the process, himself included. The trans man was voted out not long after in a power struggle, his personal identity being a non-factor, though it is possible that he was seen as a pity-threat for having been subjected to being outed in such a fashion.

It was shitty, for sure, but within the context of the show, a person was in danger of being voted out and used personal confided information to try and save himself, and upon doing so, realized how much hurt he caused and fully regretted it. Not something to be condoned by any means, but to people who aren't familiar with the show, in the media, it was likely made out to be more of a hurtful and malicious act than it in reality was. I can't remember if it was season 34 or 35, but the subtitle was "Game Changers" for anyone interested in looking it up.
